That was awesome, hard to believe that handful of rust became that dagger.

Aweesome.

Aweesome, indeed. I assume "silver" doesn't refer to the blade which must be iron? So, as silver does not rust, the visible corruption must be from the blade?

The dagger is made from steel, the hilt and scabbard decorated with silver-wire inlay. More info here: link
