Fancy Turned Penny Knife

[LRB]

Just finished today. Blade is 3 3/8" 01 steel. Grip is turned from European Beechwood 4" long, and about 7/8" at the butt, tapering to an 11/16" mild steel ferrule with 1/8" steel pivot pin of W-2 steel, hammer peened. Grip is finished with 3 coats of MinWax Antique Oil Finish. Hope you enjoy a look.

Real nice. I have been wanting to make a penny knife sometime.

That looks great!
I now have a small wood turning lathe and am teaching myself to turn.
Perhaps I will try my hand at one of these little fellow's myself?
