Default New mini Knife

The last of my Pfeil steel stock was used to make this knife, the handle is crotch wood from a Black Ash, finished with beeswax. I also after I took the pictures polished up the blade a bit more, it is very sharp and has some flex to it so I don't think it will be allowed near any real hard wood. I plan to list it for sale on Etsy, I also talked to my uncle and found a place that I can order O-1 tool steel from in the size i want to make more of these little knives.

Let me know what you all think of it, also the piece of Ash has some wormholes chewed through it.

That's a sweet looking knife Carl. How does it feel in the hand?

I've been carving more and more using/holding tools like a pen, and it looks the perfect blade shape for detailing.

Thanks for all the compliments, bob it is very comfortable for me and if you do a lot of writing with a pen or pencil it's about the same comfort level you just push a little hard and it could cut your finger off .

I was testing it out on some detail work on a whimsical barkhouse and another elfs details.
