Andy, I know you have build an incredible reputation around the handles you create, but have you ever considered making an Altoids sized tin knife? I'd be all over that!
 
I think the original karma may fit. I'll check.
 
I think I remember reading earlier, that you thought you may be able to control spalting enough to possibly even sign your name that way? (or did I just make that up??) Would it be possible to make a small tin knife with a spalted spider? And if you could do a scandi, then you could make them even faster and cheaper.

Just an idea.....




Edit: I found it on an older post-
This little Hiking Buddy is a real stunner. Notice the controlled pattern in the spalting. This is a new advancement. I may be able to sign my name that way. More testing to follow.

I can't imagine a Fiddleback without that illustrious handle that is such a trademark - but I could use a couple of tin knives too, if you choose to do
