Show me your minis

[swilliamf]

I would love to see your miniature knifes/axes/razors/etc. I unfortunately do not own any yet but plan on working on some soon.

Here is a little axe I made that has mammoth ivory handles and was ground with a 4" wheel.

Sweet axe! I know there has to be other minis out there. Show them off!!!

Here are a few I have made.

Those are really nice. Better than what I do for sure.

Here's one I made some years back. It's damascus, nickel silver and reindeer horn.

I give these pieces away as gifts to certain clients and often their wives. Talk about tears! For the guys I mount a tie-tack attachment to the back and they wear it as a lapel pin. The ladies usually mount the mini in a little picture frame. I've been told that this little act of friendship made the miniature worth more than the "real" knives they bought from me over the years.

BTW, I actually forge these blades with a little girlie hammer, differentially heat-treat them, and through many attempts, actually got a visible hamon on one. It's never happened again. Great fun!

Cheers,

Nice work, Dan! And Terry, don't sell yourself short! That's a sweet lookin' piece too. Really nice proportions.

I haven't made the time to do hardly any shop work at all for ages, so I think everyone's already seen the pics I have...

The first two are handled with black bear teeth and the third is Mop all are fully heat treated and sharpened

Mike Mercer Moran ST-23 replicated to the threaded tang construction and nut on the pommel to the same number of stiches in the sheath as the original.

Another from Mike about the same size as the ST-23 for my wife's necklace....Mokume, Damascus and Mother of Pearl.

A late 19th Century butterfly knife from Europe....authentic tortise-shell and all.

A Damascus Kris, again for my wife, from ABS Mastersmith Audra Draper.
