Both knives have blades made from files.Annealed shaped & hardened & then tempered.1st knife is done except for the buffing & sharpening.2nd knife will be sanded & buffed tomorrow.I put brass on the top & bottom of the handle of the first knife with some accent stripes & the second has wood handles with some basic accent-- steel guard.They are not perfect but I feel like I learn from every knife I do.Again Thanks to all on this fantastic site that inspired me & shared there knowlege-I'm hooked..
