Which files did you use? I've never attempted file work, but this provides motivation.

ohma:
i use valve lapping compound. buy it at auto parts store.comes in a tube its cheap and just put it on a cotton buffing wheel.it will polish out to what ever finish you desire. beautifull knife, that deserves a mirror finish.
sulphur:
very cool, simple blade with great accents with the spine design. i've made a few knives from old files but nothing that good. my wife said my first one looked like a steak knife. i bought some simple steel sheets from lowe's to practice. not great steel but it'll be ok till im better.
