Here is a file and some recycled hardwood flooring for scales.I like leaving the file teeth on the flats.

Always nice recycling files. I've been pleased with knives made out of files. I also like to leave just enough file marks to tell it was a file in it's past life. Your handle wood sure looks like Osage orange what kinda flooring was it?
I think it's birch not sure though.
I am 100% sure it was a gym floor.
Also 100% sure I need a lot of pratice with My camara!
