The traditional knife, converted from an old table knife, that used to be used, and still is being used, for the making of said pegs (and everything else near enough).

 

The knife is cut from an old discarded table knife of yesteryear – mostly Firth Stainless steel from Sheffield) and the handle made from local tree wood (Birch, Beech, Oak, Ask, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Yew). The sheath is recycled leather; mostly old bags (also often discarded) or other heavy enough leather.
