every day carry knife
MWirwicki:
Kevin that is a real nice lookin' knife. I've often wanted to do one out of a file but have no idea where to begin. Do you heat the file any during your process?
KHalverson:
thanks a lot guys .

to answer your question yes this knife was heated to 1500 f + and hammer forged to 85-90% of its shape
if ya got the urge to make a knife out of a file id be happy to coach ya thru it
