Watch out twigs and thick grass!

This one is for... ummm, smaller tasks.

I finished this one up about a month ago for the "Mini Knife in the hat." or mini KITH. Some of us over in Shoptalk decided to make mini knives then exchange them for fun and this is my entry.

It is a 1:4 scale chopper. The original is about a foot long, .250" thick, and has 1/4" tubes. This one is about 3" long, 1/16" thick and has 1/16" tubes.

It is made of differentially hardened O1 Steel; the spine and handle are slightly softer. The pins are aluminum and the sheath is concealex that I ground down thin so it is close to scale.

I made the scale material, burlap mycarta. I tried to make the mycarta glow in the dark and it has a very faint glow.

hah, that's very cool! do you have in-hand pictures?
it must be really weird holding it with three (two?) fingers, or is it functional, too?

I wanted to keep it as a keychain, it is the right size for one. I might make some more!

It is pretty functional, works good for small tasks.

In hand shot!

Don't drink this shot!
