That's an awesome design. The blade itself is exquisite. I especially like that you designed it to be broken down like that. It's almost a rarity to see that nowadays, everything is to be sent in rather than doing the work yourself.

Thanks Dudley - since you like the tool so much, why don't I send you one?! The trouble is there's no room for my maker's mark on it. It also serves double duty to push your nose hairs back up inside your nose without having to cut them. :D :D

I appreciate the feedback - thanks. Takedowns are really not that rare - you see a lot of them here in the custom knife thread. Some VERY fine ones have been recently posted by Messrs. Appleby and April. David Wesner makes a beautiful takedown (Gus) that is one of my favorites.:)

That'd be great! I'd just need something like what's pictured with a bit of a double-guard and maybe a sharpened clip to use it on besides my nose hair. ;)

Dudley: As a knifemaker, I consider it my responsibility to make recommendations to a potential client. This might be the ticket for you. The idea for the design came to me the last time I was in Saudi, Arabia. I came upon a group of Arabs standing around a camel. One fella was under the camel with a pair of bricks. I asked one of them what gives? I was told that they were castrating this camel. At that point, the guy with the bricks slammed them together on the camel's jewels. I said to one of the Arabs, "Gee, that must hurt." One of them responded: "It only hurts when you get your fingers between the bricks."

Out of this interchange came my idea for this design - The Camel Castrator. Now, if you have wide nostrils, I believe this design could fulfill your needs. :D

^^^ For the win! Easily "post of the year".

It's awesome, because you can see the punchline coming a mile away, and it still makes you laugh until you cry!
