[Dan308]

Very nice craftsmanship sir...!!

 

[oldbrass]

thats a beaut, I don`t know my steel, is that from a file ?

 

[Dan308]

this is from a file. Most old files made in the USA are 1095 tool steel and make excellent knives. I anneal these, work them and reharden them to RHC59-60. I etch them in ferric chloride to give it an old patina look.
