My Son's First Pocket "Knipe"

[Fangar]

My 2.5 year old son Braden has been bugging me for a pocket knife for the last two months. This morning, we went out in the shop together and built him his first, "Knipe", as he calls it. The wood is Bolivian Rosewood and some Maple dowels. The dowels were burnt with a torch to blend them into the rosewood a bit. It was finished with a sanding sealer and a friction polish, buffed to a dull sheen. He is asleep on the couch with it right now! Just thought I would share. I know Griz' daughter would get a kick out of something like this. I am sure others might too.

Cheers,

Fangar

Excellent idea. I wasn't sure if the age was 2 1/2 or 25 with a misplaced decimal point. And I worried at what kind of idjit would give a 2 1/2 year old a pocket knife. I'm going to plagerize your idea for my five year old twin grandsons. []

That is such a great idea. Know Pappa & son are both very pleased and proud. I also will steal your idea for my g-son.[]

Shhhhhhhhhh... Don't tell him that...

Anyone is more than welcome to use the design. Email if you get into a snag anywhere. I kinda made it up as we went along.
