The Diminutive Bladeby ~CuSmith

DescriptionDetailsShare
Download JPG 3648 × 2736
Probably the teeniest thing I've ever forged, this little guy started life as an alan wrench (a little tool that has a hexagonal cross-section) that I found in the road. The total length is almost exactly 4 inches (just over 10cm) with a blade width of 1/4 inch (just over 5mm). All the hardening and tempering is done, all that's left is to sharpen.

Very cool, how much would something like that cost if it were for sale?

Not all that much, really. I didn't keep track of time as well as I should have since I had lots of other things to do while I worked on this, but judging by my memory of the parts of the process, this could be as little as $20-25 if I get enough of a demand for them.

Factors to consider: I don't have a whole lot of allen wrenches lying around that I'm willing to convert into itty-bitty knives, so I'd have to purchase material that's suitable for the application, then I'd have to forge it out, grind and polish, heat treat, then sharpen. Add a tiny little leather sheath to go with it and that would add a bit to the price but not all that much I think.
