Bronze herb knife .

I suppose it could technically be classed as an Post Apocalyptic Ulu or Off world artifact pizza slicer , but this was a tool I made up for my lovely wife @coppermoonflower for Christmas

 Recycled steam engine washer 150mm diameter and 3mm thick , the metal was hammer hardened with a convex asymmetric grind .

The metal was then etched in ferric , brass black’d and then stonewashed for an aged appearance and then the edge mirror polished .

The handle is a length of recycled braided natural cordage taken from an broken wicker type box .The handle has then been soaked in epoxy to seal from kitchen elements .

I’ll probably have to make up a sheath too and have quite a few of these large washers so will definately be making up a few more .

Pimped  MK2 Survival Spark .

 I’m not a huge fan of shiny things let alone shiny brass so thought I’d pimp up the longer mk2 version of the keyring sparkier kindly sent to me by the folks at survival depot http://www.survivaldepot.co.uk/product/brass_keyring_sparkier.

 I added a few areas of jimping with a diamond dremel tip before field stripping it ready for etching and brass black before it was stonewashed with the flint striker removed .

 The striker can then also be further pimped ready for emergency use by wrapping the length in either gutted 550 fire-cord or waxed jute / hemp cordage or brown hairy garden twine .
