Thread: ben.mid inspired file knife

Wanting to try out my new grinder stand and after seeing ben.mid's file neck knife I decided to give it a try with a Nicholson Handy File that I bought some time ago at a garage sale with a knife in mind. I kept the origional handle with paint and Nicholson logo on the side. As you can see in my wonderful pictures , I left the original file on the upper sides of the blade and the spine. It sharpened up wonderfully and I am going to leave it as is to see how it wears. One piece of advice I would give anyone trying this is not to be to cheap with your belts. I should have started with a new one right off and not wasted the first half hour! All in all a fun project for this evening.
