Knife, Feathering

Description

Feathering knife. Turned wooden handle with a bulbous butt. The handle is tapered and has been cut down to incorporate a brass ferrule. The ferrule is reinforcing the joint where the feathering knife blade meets the handle. The knife blade is small and rounded where it meets the handle but grows in size exponentially to form the blade. The blade is essentially rectangular in shape, with a portion cut out at the end to create a 5/8" long safe, to protect the user. The edge where the safe extends outward from the blade is slightly curved. The safes edge is cut diagonally so that the spine is slightly shorter.
