The stainless steel blade is sharp and sturdy so this is a functional albeit small knife...but it's "hidden"!

SteveAxelrod Member Joined Nov 11, 2015 Messages 640 Location Oldsmar, Florida Jun 19, 2017 #8 Thanks everyone! The knife blade screws into the threaded coupler. The kit came from Craft Supplies: https://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/p/60/1216/Artisan-Compact-Key-Ring-Knife-Kit And I bought this blank before I began casting my own. The other half was used to make a coffee scoop.
