My first attempt at a Keyhole Integral style construction, this big old beast of a breadknife is not without a few imperfections; a few hammer marks on the underside of the keyhole handle and a slightly of centre pin hole attest to the difficulty of this construction. And yet, the Heimskringla pattern flows from the blade into the handle so pleasingly, and the Black Mango wood glows in the light, that I am willing to see past these things and be happy with how this one turned out. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nj5xnmbphQM
