Made last week by my Son-n-Law from a Nicholson file tempered down to 56-58rc. 6 5/8" long, 2 3/4" edge, Nickelsilver lanyard, Spearpoint. Handle is Brazilian Rosewood. Comes with sheath shown. $75 shipped conus w/ 100% mbg. First "I'll take it" here gets it. Thanks for looking!

Very nice! I've this was about an inch bigger I'd jump on it! I've been wanting another one of your knives since I got my lil' profiler!
 
I too like a larger blade, but love the way that looks with the file marks still on it! Do you have a pic of it in your hand? I have a hard time judging scale. my hand is wide, I think that handles just under 4"?

great looking.

I know it's made of a Nicholson file, but out of curiosity does anybody know what steel a Nicholson file is made of? BTW, it's a very nice blade.

Many sources tell me most American made files are made of W1 or W2 tool steel, with a few being made of 1095.
 
Man I love the way that blade looks, I'm sitting here playing with a ruler and just think it'd be too small for me. but damn it's cool. I see you use files for all of the knives, may I ask, do you buy new files or you have some great luck finding stashes of used ones?

I need to buy some new when my stash runs low, but I like to barter/trade for most of them I get.
 
Looks damn sweet and very unique !
Quickly headed to your webpage and realy liking what im seeing, especialy the neck and belter knives.

only question poping to my mind, as i dont know anything realy about knife steels and these are made from files ?!
How does it hold up against "regular" knife steels ? or how is it compared to say: s30v and 1095 - softer, harder ?
 
That is awesome!

He said most were W1 or W2 tool steel and some were 1095, take a look at this site, it should help point you in the right direction if you are looking for steel facts and comparisons
