A couple points to the creation of this knife:
The name, "No Big Thing", was derived from a little dragster that I used to enjoy at the drag strip back in the early 70s. It was a Vespa that was about the size of a bunch of nuthin' but had a big V8 and would do wheelies down the track in the first three gears and turns awesome times.
In other words, a lot of horsepower in a small package.
Also, a guy whom I admire quite a bit is Don Cowles. Don makes some of the coolest 2-finger knives I've ever seen, and I wanted to do something along those lines.
But I also wanted to make a knife that had substance, and felt hefty enough in the hand that one would feel he could accomplish considerable deeds, even though the knife was only a three finger knife.
So, here is No Big Thing.
Another note is that the Ivory Micarta scales I used here are very close - if not the EXACT! - first pieces of handle material I ever bought as a knife maker, circa 'late 96 or early 97. I've had a few of these ivory pieces as well as some black linen Micarta stored away all this time.
The bolsters are German Silver and the laddered Damascus is hot-blued 1095 and 15N20.
I'm gonna make a cool snap pouch sheath for her as well.
Over all 7" with a 3 1/4" cutting edge.
