Thread: Made my first knives, Kiridashi style

This Kiridashi knife project was my first attempt at knife making.
These knives were all made from rusty old files, and I'm really quite pleased with how they turned out.
The bevel area was sanded and polished to a near mirror finish, which I think contrasts nicely with the rest of the knife.
Now I just have to learn how to make sheaths, and sharpen knives.
If anyone has any tips on sharpening please feel free to chime in.
I know zero about sharpening anything other than razors.
