Love the high degree of polish on the hilt (you can see the reflection of the hammered skulls in the bottom photo).

Are the hilt and butt cap brass, copper, something else? They look almost like brass in the top photo, but more copper-y in the other photos.

Bob-
The guard and butt cap are copper. You are right, they are highly polished. The photos don't really do the knives justice. The combination of spacers and Jame's choice of stag was spot on. One of small things that really impresses me, is how they clean up the soldering junction between the blade and the guard. It is always very clean and smooth.
