It looks like you took an old rusty file & put it to some fantastic use. Great job!!!:chapeau

Thanks Bruno.
There is a bit less file pattern on the other side.
After the initial forging the blank had a slight bend to it.
When tapering the tang I needed to remove more steel from the other side in order keep everything straight.

What is steel used in razor? What made the file?
Unfortunately not a razor but a little fixed blade for my eldest daughter. Still the sheath to make.

Cool like the shape of the knife
my first straight "DC1" forged on the weekend, shaped & ground to a true flat wedge the other night
now started hollow grinding it last night with my mind numbingly slow & gutless cheapo belt grinder that bogs in on wood scales let a lone any pressure with steel.
either way an hour odd of grinding with the 2" wheel end has got me this far, maybe half way. but it is hollow LOL
