Traditional knife of Carpathian shepherds

Stylized shepherd's knife from the Slovak Carpathians. The decoration of the knife is based on traditional folk ornaments. Traditional pewter inlay technique is used on the knife's handle, combined with bone inlay. The knife blade is made of 300-layer carbon damask with a very fine pattern.
