Thanks for the compliments guys.

Smitty, the filework on the spine was done by laying out even marks at 3/8" along the spine and then using a chainsaw file to make alternating round indents on each side of the blade. Hold the file at about a 45 degree angle to the blade. From there you just blend the round indents so it has smooth flow from one indent to the next.

Number 2 should be ready in the next week.

Thomas, maybe I will make the railroad shiv in my next batch. lol

Glad I could help Smitty, if you google "filework" you will find a few tutorials on doing filework.

Thanks Skunkriv. The shop is still a work in progress, its filling up fast and I still need benches and a few more tools like a band saw. The kids will be flying the coop soon so all my wood working tools will be moving into the basement and that will free up alot of space in the shop.
