Lil Knife

[Englishrose222]

Hi Guys



As you can see it is my usual style..cough…puff…..errrr, but perhaps a lil litler.

I have marked it out and cut it to shape from a piece of 01 flat stock carbon steel - what do you think so far???

hehe that's adorable! And will be a real credit to your skills when you finish that off to the same high quality as your other ones

I know a guy up on Skye who makes little necklace knives - they look just like a normal knife, but scaled down to an OA length of about 2 inches... really cool stuff!

Tracy!!

I love it!

And you know, those li'll buggers make excelent cutters for small chores!!

A nice little sheath with it and its a beauty of a key-chain knife!!

P.s. send you a pm on BB about some wood.

For you guys its illegal

Fortunately for me, i can carry such a knife as EDC

It would be a usefull little thing to cut you everyday anoying things like those nylon ribbons the use around boxes etc.

Are you going to show a picture when it is done?

Hi Guys

You do make me laugh.. i remember why i don't go out anymore.

JoJo - i haven't decided on what handle wood to apply, perhaps you can make some suggestions???

FGYT - What's it for Officer??? It's for cleaning my nails of course Officer???

Marijn - i got your e-mail.. :You_Rock_

ddokkum - aahhh, we keep bumping into each other everywhere. If you want to see more pictures, i'll show you some all along the way until i finish it.

Well, because its going to be a very small nkife, i'd go for a wood whose grain would not overwhelm the design, so fine grain. If you like dark wood, you could use some Indian Anjan, dark red streaked with black and sometimes speckled. I like Osage Orange, although its a coarser grain, its a nice dense wood, going from bright yellow to orange. Another yellow is Piquia Amarello, which is use for small carvings.

You should be able to get these woods, among many more exotics, from these people. They have a good paper catalogue as well you can order from their website. Normal disclaimer, blahblah!!nothing to do with them.....

Knowing your production speed it will take you all of 2 hours to finish it

Very nice Trace!

That needs snakewood!!! you must have an offcut. or a small piece of antler, or some ivory micarta or some boxwood

 

[Englishrose222]

How's that???

 

[jojo]

Vera nice!!!!How big is the handle going to be :notworthy

 

[Dave Budd]

That's a nice little thing you have there, looking forward to seeing it finished

Here are a couple of little ones I'm working on to give you inspiration

they are both forged from High carbon steel, and heat treated properly so these are real knives on the small side

The bottom one has mosaic pins, filework and a figured snakewood handle. I'm thinking about either tooling or inlaying the sheath too

I'm in love.
