Default Fiddler Crab Kiridashi

Here's a small kiridashi (Japanese-style woodworking knife) I just finished. On this one I used several of Carl Bleile's gravers - the narrow banknote and the scraper. They helped a lot. Nice deep, dark cuts with the narrow banknote graver, and excellent smoothing and transitions with the scraper. Thanks, Carl - brilliant additions to the engraving arsenal!

About 5 and a half inches long, 5160 carbon steel with rust finish, tulipwood box.

Sorry for the lousy photography...Thanks for looking!
