Sorry about the delay, I finally finished the Ladder Pattern Damascus Toothpick. Unfortunately the Mammoth tooth that I had planned to use for it was not properly stablized as it should have been,it broke in mutilpe places during cutting. From now on I will do it myself, that way I will make sure that it is OK.
Ladder pattern high carbon Damascus for the Blade, Spring, and Bolsters, with Wild Olive Wood for handle scales. Overall length is 7 3/16", Blade length is 3 1/16", Closed length is 4 1/8". Blade is flat ground.
Putting in the shield was fun, HA HA. Did this one by hand.
Hope that you like it, or at least some one likes it besides me.
