and the petrified wood base (the absolute perfect base) definitely points to shorebird

great everyday for flowers

or basement workshop as the case may be

There is one top corner it looks like a mouse may have nibbled just a bit

Crudely Beautiful (and Very Sharp!) Pair of Handmade Shiv Type Knives small wood spoons and the petrified wood baseI find these quite beautiful, and they're also a pleasure to use a sort of homemade substitute for exactos, or Opinels. I don't believe prison shivs, but perhaps stealthily made in shop class, who knows? Both with inset steel blades, which remain very sharp. Pretty much indestructible and quite satisfying things. Silver: 5 5 8" x 11 16". Copper: 4 7 8" x 5 8". Both great condition, very sharp.
