File Utility Knife
File Utility Knife
Where to start?
This knife started as a broken half-moon bastard file. One side was flattened then the cutting edge was added in a kiridashi-like diagonal. The pattern on the flattened face of the knife was designed in Illustrator, then transferred to vinyl using a Cricut Maker. The process of electro-etching this thing was TEDIOUS. The outcome, however was quite unique.
Lots of personality in this little knife!
