March 9, 201511 yr I enjoy making knives from mill files. I have quite the stock of worn out, old mill files. Here's one a did for a college friend. He wanted a knife to have around the house, bare bone minimum, no fancy stuff. Red oak scales, basic leather sheath without a belt loop. I finished this right before I got my 2x72 belt grinder and realized my bevels needed work. But with a 2x72 it's a lot easier to get better shaped grinds (yet getting a good clean convex grind is one of the hardest things I've done, I need to build a jig). Thanks for looking.
March 14, 201511 yr Nothing bare bones about that! Looks like something I'd love to have on my belt when out in the woods.
March 25, 201511 yr Looks great. I need to make me one of those. I love the pattern it leaves on the blade.
