Default A little more REACH!!!

HI
While carving the walkingsticks I found that my knife handle keep getting in the way of carving the eyes because of the need to make the under cuts so i made this little knife it has about 1/4" off set from the handle and a 1" blade i used it on a few of the eyes and like it very well.Its made out of a power hacksaw blade.The steel is high carbon and tunkson.The handle is just a peice of pine the shank is about 2" into the handle.
Thanks for looking
Vic.

Very nice knife. Looks like you made it work right for you looking at your waking sticks. Good job.

cool. I like the knife and the handle looks comfy. I love to see people's home crafted tools.

It makes me want to go in the garage and make some of my own!
