    Id love to do this with one of the files i got from my wife’s grandfather. He was a union boiler maker and then a union electrician later in life. I inherited a ton of his tools including a plethora of files.

    Beautiful knife, I love the thickness of the tang and the pattern of the file. Thanks so much for sharing. I started a small file knife about a year ago and got it ready to heat treat, but stalled on it. This is helping me get back on it.
    Cheers

  • @ferenczieugen2984
    @ferenczieugen2984 2 роки тому +2

    A very pleasant shape of the blade and the handle, I like that you left the patern of the file on the blade, it looks good but most of all I like the handle, the colors, the shape and the finish, they are all perfect for my eyes. Thanks for the video

  • @gnillut
    @gnillut 4 роки тому +12

    I really like how elegant it looks from the side. I thought it would look big and fat with that beefy file, making the handle thick. You made it work perfectly! Nicely done!

    I really like stock removal. Less chance for fractures and cold shuts. The buffing wheel in the press is a cool idea. I have had close calls with buffing wheel on bench grinder and actually damaged a blade I was working on because it caught and threw it into the grinder guard.
