A fork, a spoon, and a knife. These are hand filed from a sheet of aluminium.
The colour is not as I would like. Metal from a tomato can seems to be the ideal tone, but cans are not thick enough. Aluminium is too cold.
They are quite imperfect. The knife (last of the three made) was looking pretty good, until I found my measurements were off, and in shortening it, lost some of the shape in the handle. And the fork has oddnesses as well.
The spoon was the one I worried would be least successful, as the metal sheet was not thick enough for the depth of the spoon, but it actually seems ok.
I could certainly do with a vice.
