The talent it takes to make a regular size knife astounds me.  These little treasures are just phenomenal 

These mini blades were all made individually by hand from dull old saw blades.I have since sold or traded these trinkets and am making more soon.

Nice work (: and Thank you Jan! (:

I have always been a collector and maker of miniatures. I am glad I found a group of mini knife collectors. I may have to start collecting more mini knives now.

I am sorry Steve, I didn't mean to mislead you. I make miniature items. Not all knives. Actually, I have only ever made one mini knife. If I can figure out how to add photos here, I will show you the one I made.

Thanks Steve. Here are a few of my miniatures. I made everything in the pic but the dime. I will attempt to make some more mini knives in the future.

Steve the only thing making it difficult lately is my eye sight getting worse. This may be the year I have to get glasses. At this point I will welcome them. :)

A custom order I finished today. 3 Neon Pendant Necklaces

 This was a gift from a friend-I know by now  you almost expect me to say this(" I do wish people would stop giving me knives!! LOL). I have no idea who made it or where it came from. I just know that I like it !!

Here is my "toothpick" knife, Mexican style !! This was yet another gift from way back, I actually forgot from who or when I got it. I know nothing about it, except for the hand scrawled "made In Mexico" tang stamp. Not sure if it qualifies as a true miini, being a whopping 3 1/2 inches in overall length !!

Ahhh nice John! I like it :) It's something different :)

Steve, if you can make it to the Knifemakers' Guild Show in Louisville, KY the first weekend of August, I should have a full box of miniatures you can look at up close and personal. Sold most I had at the Blade Show last month, but have slowly been rebuilding my inventory.

Tamera was deployed Friday.  We hope that once she gets used to her routine she will get back into her knives.  Her inventory was depleted several months ago.  She will be underway for 40 days and can only email us.  We will keep you updated.

one of my new ones I call it Gnomio's Dragonfly Skinner. 1 5/8ths Inches OAL Fossil Mammoth Ivory Damascus Steel Brass Guard and Copper pins. 

I make a few miniature knives- mostly mini automatics.

Uh Oh, I think I might need some of those auto minis!

Here's a miniature Leverletto sitting on a standard Leverletto blade.

I wish some one would make a mini M3......

Hmmm, I am wondering if Chris Sievert could do that?

I could do that Jan. 

alan pitcher what length would you want it to be or what scale if that is easier?

maybe no more than 4 1/2  to 5 inches total, would make a neat, small letter opener

I found these online, kinda shows the parts view

Hi, Chris, say you could do?

Yes I could do. I need to know did you want an M3 Knife or an M4 Bayonet? Your 1st picture was an m3 knife and I could do one with no problems the M4 bayonet would be more difficult but still doable.... I just need to know if if you want the blade done in Damascus or 1095 high carbon steel... I assume you want the traditional stacked leather handle and would you want steel or brass guard and pommel? 4 1/2-5 inch is very doable. Correct me if I'm wrong but the Full size is around 11 inches in length? So just under 1/2 (or Just over 1/3) scale for the Miniature

sorry bout the wrong pic,,the M3  knife is the knife I would want done, as far as the blade, guard and pommel, steel would be fine  and 4 1/2  to 5 inch  would also be fine . The full size is 11 1/2 "  I think.

Whopeeeee, Chris says  "he can do that"

here is the 1/2 scale M3 for alan pitcher...

That turned out real nice Chris.

Are you planning on attending the Knifemakers' Guild Show in Kansas City next year?

that sure turned out nice Chris!!

Carl wasn't that Sept of This year?

It's an annual show - didn't make this one.

They changed the name of the show when they moved it from Louisville, KY (I'll have to look it up). It's a joint show now - Knifemakers' Guild and ABS.

Have already reserved a table for next year.

Just wanted to comment that I recd the knife that Chris made and it is a dandy,  it looks and is put together just like the real deal, Thanks again, Chris.

Hey Alan,  Glad you received it!  Can we get a pic of it at it's new home?

I've just posted pic's of two of my miniature knives.  These two are hand made and were purchased directly from the maker.  Both are marked with the initial "M". These are the favorites from my entire collection.  I'd appreciate your thoughts on these two especially.  Most of my other mini's are factory made, such as keychain; mini multifunction (e.g. swiss army); and souvenir knives,

Here's my Mini Stag Puma :)

Nice little Puma. What's the dimensions?

Chris - It's the ICCE Show and is in Kansas City, MO Sept 23/24/25 (this year, 2016). I'll be there along with a pretty good contingency of Georgia Makers. If you make the show come by and see me.

Carl I'm going to see if my dad wants to day trip it, we're only 2 hours away... ;)

After so many years of collecting knives, I am finally attempting to make one of my own. I am making a mini knife that will fit into an Altoid tin and still be usable. Here is a pic of the start of it.

More progress. Holes drill.

And now, handles attached and rough sanded.

Handle all contoured, sanded and two coat of oil on it. 

Here is a pic of a saw blade just like the one I made the knife from, along with the finished knife. Looking forward to making a few more of these soon.
