I've seen that exact video, I need to try it that way but I've been using my etchant that I got before I saw this]

Nice work, much better than mine. The file knife shown is cold ground, I did it to test my skill at building the handle and guard for the most part. I don't have a forge nor room for one. The Balance of the knife is excellent, you can literally swing it by holding it only with a couple fingers resting against the guard and using a chopping motion.
