This knife is best known for it's use after the Civil War as an eating utensil for those soldiers who
had lost a hand/arm in combat, acting as both a one-handed knife and fork. This knife was made
from 52100 steel with a hand-rubbed finish. The handle is Desert Ironwood Burl with black liners,
stainless steel handle bolts and lanyard liner and a matching Ironwood fob. The knife comes with a
carved leather case with a "woodland squirrel" motif.
Site also includes this awesome toast de-cruster:

This piece is definitely a bit different. It is the knife I made for Gabe Newell's "Toast-Cutter" contest...basically
a more creative way to remove the crust from slices of toast. My entry knife had a blade with two 90 degree bends
made from a single piece of my 500 layer high carbon damascus and file worked. The neck is peined into the
blade. The neck and guard of this knife are from the same damascus billet as the blade and the neck is also file
worked. The handle is a solid warthog tusk with a throat of malachite and a black spacer. Comes with a
Quilted/Curly Maple cutting board. (You can e-mail me for more detailed photos.)
