Nope, only one...I just thinned it out, so now I have to make another.
I forgot to put a scale in the photo, but the blade is 1/2" wide.

Having no lathe, I shaped a piece of cocobolo into a squarish
handle (I'm part Scandinavian, after all) using saw, rasp, and files.
I then filed a compression nut into a roundish ferrule and epoxied
the blade into a slot.  Epoxy made up for the sloppy fit of the nut,
also.
