I have a pattern-welded knife that a blacksmith friend made me as a wedding present (I know, I know, I have strange friends...) - anyway, my question is - I keep it oiled and in a sheath lined with sheepskin - will it be ok? It is made of mild steel I think - or possibly iron with a mild steel edge to it. (Reconstruction of an Anglo-Saxon artefct)
(Another wedding present was a reproduction of an Anglo Saxon cremation urn)
(Do you think there is a thread in this - what odd wedding presents did you get?)
