Stroke victim knife

[Raymond Richard]

Here's my first try at a knife I made for my brother in laws niece that had a stroke a few months back. She just has use of one arm. Went with somewhat of an ulu style cutting edge but went with a more conventional handle. I was looking for some steel that would be thin enough for this knife and I spotted a two man cross cut saw I had salvaged from an old barn foundation. Anyway this is what I came up with. Its got a 4" cutting edge, 10 " overall, a zebra wood handle and two 6p ring shank nail rivets.
