Nice mate, and I guess for a 'lefty' you'd just cant the leaf the other way. A well-earned beer......

That's the idea mate, or in the future have the leaf sitting straight as an ambidextrous option :-)

I love the design of it! You might want to make or buy a wooden or rawhide mallet to use for straightening, so you don't get those areas on your twists where the hammer mars the edges.
My second bit of advice (if you want it), is to make the business end more of a.... deal like this. I don't know what it's called: http://www.anvilforgeblacksmithing.co.uk/images/household/kitchenitems/6.jpg

It's similar to what you have now, just a bit more elegant looking.



Just checked out your knives. You have some serious skill, those are awesome!

Oh, that's cool! I've never seen a leaf wrapped around like that before.

Yes, that is pretty cool. Christmas not far awayMate, you'd better get busy 'cause when family and freinds see this, they're gonna want 'em in their stocking....

Funny you should say that mate, these two have already been dispatched to Terra Australis! Got family in rural QLD, they'll be crackin a few stubbies open out on the station with them soon i reckon :)

Next project is my first dragon head, then a bottle opener with a dragon head along the same lines as the leafy ones :wacko:
