I've wanted to make a tiny Higo for a while now. And with it I wanted to make a house for it to live in. So here it is.
This whole presentation is made entirely with hand tools. I forged out a piece of steel very thin and cut the blade and handle out with my jeweler's saw.
I filed the blade shape and bevels in. The box is all constructed from flat sheet. There is a wood inset with felt on top. And a flush set magnet holds the knife in place.
I had a lot of fun making this knife and box despite the work involved. The hours seemed to fly by. It was nice to make something a little different.
I hope you enjoy it.
Here are the specs:
The Knife
my damascus (1084 + 15n20)
copper handle
stainless pin
2 1/16" open
1 1/2" closed (excluding flipper)
1" edge
smidge over 1/32" thick at the spine
The Box
textured and oxidized copper
maple
felt
magnet
2 1/8" long
1 1/8" wide
11/16" tall
*** $415 + $10 shipping in the US ***
