Mocotaugan Knife (crooked knife)

I made this crooked knife or mocotaugan from a Nicholson mill bastard file. The handle is from a lilac tree branch I removed from our yard a couple of years ago. This knife was based on a design that Orien McDonald makes and was displayed in this tutorial on PaleoPlanet. Orien also sells his knives on Etsy, which you can see here. You can read more about these style of blades here.  I think that I may make another one that has a shorter blade that is more curved throughout its length. It seems that this one works well enough for my first attempt however. Another neat tutorial from Cariboo Blades can be found here.

Pry Bar Bottle Opener

I just finished this pry bar bottle opener as a custom order on my Etsy store. The customer wanted it an inch longer than the other bottle openers that I have made. The extra length (4" overall)  makes it very comfortable to open beers. Another nice feature of this tool is that it gets the cap off with only one pry.
