First I’ve carved the handle from beech wood. This is a pretty dense wood which allows to make fancy shapes in it using only hands and chisel (You don’t need to work with mallet).

Since it would be knife for my son, I’ve made a blade from thin, elastic not very sharp stainless steel. I’ve also made a curved shape of it.
All of this because of safety (and such shape is also better in cutting mushrooms)
