Underdog Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I made this knife today from an old file. I hope to affix it to the side of my flintlock bag. I have no idea as to it's edge retention but on the stone it seems not the hardest! Any how it was fun to grind. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I was careful to not get it hot when grinding. Not the.Peres it no. I was going to test it first. If it is unsatisfactory I will quench and draw back to plum colour. Think! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 That's looks cool, want to try it myself one day. Are you going to make a handle for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ground the finger choils in. It feels quite nice in the hand. I hope it compliments the flintlock. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
