    It is amazing seeing what an old possibly discarded file can be reborn as! Beautiful job.

    That looks great...I like the simple elegance of it all. My only thought would be if the stabilizer at the heel is going to come into play when honing.

    Hi Tom you will find a lot of information on this forum, but you can pick up a lot of good info from the British blades forum and knife making workshop, but even after saying that I think you may need a good level of practical skill as well.

    Sweet Blade, Jamie! If I may, from my own personal experience, wonder about that stabilizer. You might consider getting the bottom of it gone before honing it.
    I also wonder what it would look like scaled. Nice Work!
