Well I always loved the look a=of a rugged knife made froma file. Well since I got me a forge and a anvil( need a bigger one) I thought I would try my hand at a couple knives from files. The bigger knife has a 6.5" blade oal of 11.5" and the other knife has a 5.5" blade oal 9.75"/ They sure take a great edge and sharp sharp. <><

i am currently working on my first file knife i think it wasnt annealed properly....it is taking forever to get the file groovews smooth with a mill bastard file. Any advice? i was wanting to make one for deer season.

get ya a fire started and toss it in there and keep it hot for awhile a hour or two. When the fire goes out leave it till the blade cools down.><>
