October 10, 201213 yr I finished this knife this morning. I purchased a handfull of files from someone for 3$. this one had been broken. After peparing the material(normalizing and annealing) I grinded and filed the blade. then sanded up to 2500 grit. I made the guard from 6061-t6 aluminum( this is my first guard). The handle is made of Brazilian cherry with stainless steel stud and an aluminum lanyard hole. The blade was clay fired and tempered twice. the blade was slightly etched as well. I still need to make the sheathe for it.
