thanks.
I have used copper from pennies and from other old copper sheet to make shields for penknives and I like the way it looks.
I usually gently heat it, then hammer it out on the anvil to thin it down prior to final shaping on the sander.
I have found that if you hammer it to thin it, it is reasonably scratch resistant in the pocket. But, like any other NS shield, it will dull up with fine scratches over time, and of course, it will darken from the atmosphere. But that's why I like it...
