Made a trade years ago with a lady that had inherited a big box of Green River blades and a big box of handle materials too. Made some up over the years:

Not sure if considered homespun, but this one is made from an old file.

Here are some more Nicholson file Knives by RW Fredd.

A file Skinner , a bowie by Tom Goodpasture from a file, and a chopper made from a leaf spring of a Road runner. I guess they could be considered homespun if made from other old tools or materials.

Right there with you. I don’t have girly hands, but I definitely wouldn’t want to put pressure on that handle for any extended period of time.

Yeah that one looks like it's a display model not for use. Especially that one long nub that would hit right in your palm.
