Making a Hunting knife from an Old File

And another one ! I made a simple knife from a file again, and i absolutely love how it turned out (which is rare !!). The way i did the mirror polish worked much better than any other time, because i tried new techniques. After the bevel grind, I switched from the belt grinder to a variable speed angle grinder with higher and higher grits, and then polishing compound. MUCH more efficient and way better result ! I like making knives from files because the heat treatment is very simple, and it’s easy to maintain a high rockwell hardness. It is absolutely razor sharp as you can see ! The handle is blue stabilized wood (i should know the name, but i don’t) with brass pins. 🚀 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on my latest content.
