Steel offcut + too much time =

This lil booger












Microdashi
made out of N690Co- To be heat treated (when the rest of the batch goes in)

Overal length - 2.0 in"

Cutting edge - 1.0 in"

Has intricate file work that was a PITA to do on such a tiny blade

Mirror blade

Im possibly going to make a tiny kydex sheath for it, and might drill a 3mm hole in it when I get some good drill bits. I will then cord wrap it with one of the inner strands of some 550 paracord

How to kill a few hours

Pretty cool, with a sheath even better. Just wouldn't know how to carry it otherwise. I like it though for sure.

haha, more like a functional novelty than anything.

Pretty premium steel for a novelty lol (similar performance, if not better performance than VG10)

That's really cool. With a way to cover the edge for safety and a key ring hole I think it would make a great little key ring knife. A SMALL kydex sheath would work if it fit so it would not come off accidentally. I was thinking if you put a hook shape at the end of the edge where you finger goes for the kydex sheath to snap onto after sticking the tip into the other end of the sheath. Only the edge would be covered. The idea is to keep the sheath as small as possible. I know nothing about working with kydex so your ideas would probably be better. I really like that little knife though. Excellent job.

PS
I've seen those little pry bar things for keyrings and some of them are $50 and up for something about the same size as your little knife. I think this knife would be a very useful tool. Even if it just sits in your desk drawer for occasional use. I also think "lil booger" is the perfect name when you start mass producing them. Or, "razorsharp lil booger". Even better.

I like it. Cool little functional piece. Maybe not everyday useful...but probably great to have as a back up on your keys or as Jack suggested in a desk drawer.

The term "prison shank" comes to mind lol. I've been wanting to make a file knife for a long time, i just don't have the tools to do it with.
