Making a Dagger from an Old File

In this video I'm making a small Fairbairn-Sykes dagger from a saw sharpening diamond file. I'm using basic tools like the bench grinder and a small 1x32 belt sander.
00:00 Selecting the file
00:27 Sketching the knife
00:56 Annealing the metal
01:22 Shaping the knife
03:19 Woodturning the handle
06:36 Gluing it together
07:08 Finishing and testing

That was lovely, entertaining and hilarious at the same time.
It looked great in the end.
Mr. Kitten had a score to settle with Fleabag next door, by the looks of it.
Cheers.

The warning at the beginning of the video.
You have all my respect.

[@alweron]

Well... I'm not really sure I would call these tools basic, but I can respect the warning at the beginning of the video, I can appreciate the cuteness of the final product and I can definitely help to spread this by adding a comment.
Thanks :)

[@AndreiIR000]

Lovely work! Do you consider selling these on Etsy or similar platforms?

[@TheSmallWorkshop]

Not really, postage costs are prohibitive.

[@joejoyce9519]

Great stuff. Do you ever sell?

[@TheSmallWorkshop]

Thanks! I don't sell because postage costs are huge, due to my location.

[@dhyanais]

Nice, looks like a paper knife.
Btw, why the re upload?

[@TheSmallWorkshop]

It was a bug in youtube yesterday and video got like zero views for a long time.
