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

of which there are quite a wide (and sometimes wonderfully weird) variety

Crudely Beautiful (and Very Sharp!) Pair of Handmade Shiv Type Knives small wood spoons 7 7/8" t x 4I 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.
