This one started as a challenge, to make a knife out of garbage (I have most of the photos of the WIP if you guys want them) when I saw the wood I was going to use (construction timber, very ugly) I decided to stretch a little the rules and look in MY garbage bin and found ebony scraps :D these little pieces that you keep just in case because its ebony.
The file was softened, profiled and then water quenched. The pins are 3/16" aluminium welding rods. I guessed its W1, but it could be W2.
