I finished my 8th knife today and yes it's made from a file again. I do plan on ordering some steel from Aldo this week though.
The blade is made from a farriers rasp and the handle is Ebony. Stainless steel guard with stainless, brass and black G10 spacers.
Blade length is 8.25" and overall length is 14". The clip is sharpened. A satin finish on everything (metal and wood). A nice white hamon that is tough to photograph but ya can see it a little better in the video below (if I can figure out how to post it).
The handle is held in place with a brass nut that is recessed into the back. The handle is also about a 1/16" proud of the spacers all the way around.
I ran out of leather so I still need to make a sheath for it so for the pics I used the sheath that I made for my last knife.
A B&W pic showing it next to the last bowie I made.

Thanks for looking!
