Default My second Knife...
Hi!
I finally finished it :-)

I forged it from an old file like the first one, normalised enough times, hardended differentially with clayed back and tempered twice in my kitchen oven.

The wood is called "Bosse Pommele"...very beautiful stuff, when it gets thin it is kind of fragile though. It was just sanded to grit 600 and then oiled with linseed oil.
