Ideas for a 1.25 x 4 inch cutoff?

[Jason Fry]

I've got a 4 inch long stub of 3/16 x 1.25 ATS 34. Any ideas on what to do with a piece that size? Short EDC knife? Heavy folder? Hate to just toss it in the scrap box.

I never toss pieces into the scrap box. Everything gets used except the dust... and sometimes even that.

Consider making a mini. It's fun and good experience for keeping an eye on details.

I have a "two fingered" knife with about a 1.5" blade that I've been making. A Kiridashi would also work.

Whatever you choose, show us some pics!
