Fancy Turned Penny Knife
« on: February 27, 2013, 09:52:08 PM »
  Just finished today. Blade is 3 3/8" 01 steel. Grip is turned from European Beechwood 4" long, and about 7/8" at the butt, tapering to an 11/16" mild steel ferrule with 1/8" steel pivot pin of W-2 steel, hammer peened.  Grip is finished with 3 coats of MinWax Antique Oil Finish. Hope you enjoy a look.

Very nice. Now I want a lathe...

I am presuming that the rivet is tight enough that the blade cannot swivel freely. How thick is the bolster?

  Yes on the rivet, but as they break in, the rivet most often requires a smack or two with a hammer to re-tighten. The ferrule is about 1/32" thick.
