My Tiny Knife

[Muddypaws]

I recently tried to make a full tang bushcraft knife, but unfortunately during heat treatment it cracked. Undaunted by this setback I managed to make this knife from what would have been the handle.

The blade is 1/8" gauge plate, and the scales are walnut.
I find it very handy for whittling and detail carving.

Does anyone else have a favourite small knife?

Nice recovery

I can imagine how gutting a crack would be, but good on you for making the most of it.

Do you have a use in mind for it, or is it a "just because" sort of knife?

Launditch 1 - it cracked when I quenched it after initial hardening, but since then I read an excellent tutorial on British Blades (should have done this first), but thanks for your concern.
