Twopenny knife

[oupa]

You take two old pennies.
Drill them full of holes.
Make a blade from vintage Firth&Brearley stainless (they invented stainless).
A pinch of liner material and brass.
Add a small slide lock
Peen the whole lot together.
And you have a twopenny knife.

No, this knife cannot punch a hole in the door of an armoured car.
It has not been issued by NASA nor the Navy Seals.
It has not been to the top of Mount Everest.
But, it is a sturdy little fellow and just right for lounging on your desk, opening the mail and attracting attention.

That is easily the coolest idea I have ever seen. If I wasn't in "save for christmas" mode already I'd snap this up.

That is one cool little knife. Is the piece about the size of a quarter or a half dollar. I would like to try something like that.

1 5/16" across.
Some I make have round brass sides and the coins are then overlaid.

That's a pretty neat idea!:thumbup: You might find this interesting, the infamous Bose yo-yo knife.

Thanks Kerry - very interesting.
Bose knives are the holy grail.
Their shadow pattern is the ultimate.
