Aden Cassidy Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Oh yes please do a wip, it looks fantastic and makes me want to have a crack at filework. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger9523 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Hmm, a WIP.... I've got another blade blank somewhere that I could do this to. Leave it with me. Tools used are a bench/pillar drill and a drill bit just under half the thickness of the steel used. On my piece I used a 1.8mm bit for my 4mm stock, and a good sharp three square needle file (Triangular). Other files come in handy if you have them, but it is possible to do the twist pattern with just the three square. The wavy line bit requires a round or half round. I don't mark anything, do it all by eye, but it could be usefull for those who've done very little file work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger9523 Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Did this pattern once before: It was for this knife: It really shows up nice when the knife is finished. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
