create a miniature folding knife.
1998 04 steel, ebony, brass handle: 1.75″ blade: 1.5″
concept, design, shaping, tempering, finishing
this began as a prototype and was my first attempt at a folding knife.
due to the small size of the piece i opted for a spring-tension system rather than an actual lock.
the shape is a slightly dropped point and the back of the spring is fileworked.
it was finished with an ebony handle and brass scales and pins.
