I decided to make my own design for my knife.
In the end it worked out.

Hello,
My intention was to combine aesthetics and identity in a single piece.
The shape of the blade follows a robust and modern design.
The handle was designed to offer comfort and safety in handling. I chose a wood with contrasting tones to create a natural and organic effect, bringing a balance between rusticity and sophistication. The mosaic pin adds a touch of charm.
Sibipiruna
Taxonomy and Nomenclature
Division: AngiospermaeClate: Eurosidae I
Order: Fabales (in Cronquist (1981), it is classified in Rosales)
Family: Fabaceae (in Cronquist (1981), it is classified in Leguminosae)Subfamily: Caesalpinioideae
Genus: Caesalpinia
Species: Caesalpinia pluviosa DC. var.peltophoroides (Benth.) G. P. Lewis
Botanical synonyms: Caesalpinia peltophoroidesBentham.
Common names by Federation Units:in Bahia, mucitaiba-verdadeira; in Minas Gerais, coraĆ§Ć£o-de-negro, falso-pau-brasil and sibipiruna; in ParaĆba, coraĆ§Ć£o-de-negro; in Pernambuco, maria-preta; and in the State of SĆ£o Paulo, pau-brasil-do-amarelo.
Etymology: the generic name Caesalpinia was attributed by Linnaeus, in homage to the famous Italian physician and botanist Andrea Caesalpinio (1519ā1603). In Tupi-Guarani, the term Ƨapo-piruna (sibipiruna) means āblack-barked rootā.
Climate
Average annual rainfall: from 800 mm in ParaĆba to 2,100 mm in Bahia.
Rainfall regime: uniformly distributed rainfall on the coastal strip of southern Bahia and in the smaller areas of Alagoas and Pernambuco, and periodic rainfall in other locations.
Soils
Sibipiruna grows well in soils of average chemical fertility, as long as the water table is not too close to the surface.
Seed Technology
Harvesting and processing: there are two indicators of the ripeness of sibipiruna fruits: change in color from green to dark, with or without spots, and their opening. When the normal harvest time is near, and any of these two harvest indicators mentioned above are observed, the matrix must have the surrounding weeds eliminated and the harvester, using a ladder and pruning shears, will knock down the fruits. These are collected, cleaned of branches and leaves, bagged, identified and transported to the processing site.
Seedling Production
Sowing: the seeds of this species must be sown in a seedbed, with subsequent transplanting into polyethylene bags or large polypropylene tubes. Transplanting can be done 60 days after sowing.
Germination: it is epigeal or phanerocotyledonary. Emergence begins 6 to 12 days after sowing. Despite being somewhat uneven, germination power reaches reasonable rates, around 60%. The seedlings reach a suitable size for planting approximately 6 months after germination.
Silvicultural Characteristics
Caesalpinia pluviosa var. peltophoroides is a heliophilous species; moderately tolerant to low temperatures.
Habit: it has very large debranching. It does not present natural shedding.
Regeneration methods: mixed planting in full sun, associated with secondary species, is recommended. This species sprouts intensely from the stump.
Growth and Production The growth of Caesalpinia pluviosa var. peltophoroides is slow. At 8 years of age, this species presented an average annual increase in volume of 4.45 m3.ha-1.year-1.
Wood Characteristics
Apparent specific mass (density): sibipiruna wood is dense (0.978 g.cm-3)
Color: the heartwood is dark in color and distinct from the sapwood, which is light in color.
Products and Uses
Animal feed: sibipiruna forage contains 11% to 20% crude protein and 10% to 13.5% tannin, and is not considered good forage.
Apiculture: the flowers of this species are melliferous, producing pollen and nectar.
Energy: sibipiruna wood produces good quality firewood; it is also recommended for charcoal production.
Sawn and roundwood: the wood of this species is not of great commercial importance. However, it is used in civil construction, carpentry and joinery, mainly in the production of boards. It is used in the manufacture of parquet floors and furniture, and in posts and rural bridges.
Landscaping: The sibipiruna is one of the native trees with the greatest potential for urban ornamentation, a fact that lies in the tree's aesthetic characteristics, its rapid growth and great resistance to pests, diseases and atmospheric pollution, aspects that recommend it for urban landscaping, and it is widely cultivated in all regions of Brazil. In addition to its beauty, it has rapid growth and resistance to environmental pollution. A very beautiful tree, thanks to its small leaflets that, together, resemble a tiny maidenhair fern, and its large panicles, with showy yellow flowers, resemble a candelabra.
