ICE SCRAPPER   THE NEWT LIVESAY DESIGNED ICE SCRAPER WERE MADE IN 1993 IN SILOAM SPRINGS, ARKANSAS.  A CUSTOMER HAD ASKED FOR SOMETHING OF THIS NATURE, AND I MADE UP A PROTOTYPE WHICH HE LIKED.  IN TURN I MADE HIM TWO MORE OF THE LITTLE STEEL ICE SCRAPERS. ONCE THE ORDER WAS FILLED,  I LIKED THE LITTLE KNIVES OS MUCH THAT I PRODUCED A TOTAL OF NINE (9) MORE.  ORIGINALLY I WAS GOING TO MAKE A TOTAL OF ONE HUNDRED (100) SERIAL NUMBERED UNITS, BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO MAKING MORE THAT THE ORIGINAL TWELVE.  I ENDED UP GIVING MORE OF THEM AWAY THAN THOSE THAT WERE SOLD.  I DO NOT REMEMBER WHAT THE ORIGINAL PRICE WAS ON THE KNIFE, BUT I THINK IT WAS ABOUT $20.00 EACH. THEY WERE NOT GIVEN A PART NUMBER NOR INVENTORIED. THE PAIR PICTURED ABOVE ARE THE ONLY TWO THAT I HAVE, AND THEY KEEP SHOWING UP IN A BOX OR TWO AROUND THE SHOP SO I DECIDED TO SHARE THEM WITH YOU.  THE LITTLE CUTTERS WERE MADE OF 1095 HIGH CARON TOOL STEEL, AND BLACK PARKARIZED.   I PLAYED AROUND WITH THEM , AND I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THAT IF YOU DID HAVE TO USE ONE OF THEM ON AN "ICE HOLE" YOU WOULD PROBABLY LAY SOMEONE'S HEAD OPEN TO THE BONE , BUT ALSO BREAK YOUR FINGER AT THE SAME TIME.  THE DESIGN GOES AGAINST MY OLD ADAGE WHICH IS TO NOT STICK YOUR FINGER IN ANY METAL HOLES IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO DAMAGE OR WORST TO YOUR FINGER.  THINK ABOUT IT!     

THE SCRAPER ON THE LEFT IS MARKED: 93 IN THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER INDICATING THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE.  THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER IS THE MARKING 5C WHICH INDICATES THE METAL IS 1095 HC.  ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE SCRAPER THE LETTERS WKC REFER TO Wicked Knife Company.  THE ONLY OTHER STAMPING IS ICE SCRAPER .001.    THE SCRAPER ON THE RIGHT IS A STANDARD PRODUCTION MODEL WITH THE MARKING OVER FINGER HOLE READING. NEWT LIVESAY.  93 IS STAMPED ON THE BACK SIDE THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER INDICATING THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE.  THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER IS THE MARKING 5C WHICH INDICATES THE METAL IS 1095 HC.  DIRECTLY ABOVE THE HOLE THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE SCRAPER IS MARKED AS .004.
