File work on Carnivour?

[ptpalpha]

Has anyone done any filework on the liners of their Carnivour? I'm going to give it a shot here soon, and was wondering if anyone had some pic's I could check out before I begin.

Check with Corduroy, or better yet, I will send you a JPEG of mine when he is finished with it.

Thanks, Copfish. And when I butcher mine, I'll send it to Corduroy to work his magic on! I'm looking forward to your jpeg.

Well, I've finished the back-side of the liners. Corduroy has some cool pics of filework on his site-they really helped. It was much easier than I expected-if you can take apart the knife and put it back together, you've done the hardest part! The rest is just taking your time, and having a good set of needle files. I'm not saying it looks perfect, but it looks pretty darn good! After I completed the filing, I polished it with the Dremel. It sure did dress up the Carnivour. Next I'll do the bottom sides of the liners-there's much more length to work with so I may try to do a fancier pattern. After that, I'll be looking for a diamond-impregnated file to work on heat-treated blades. Thank you Bladeforum members for giving me the idea and the courage to try this. I now have a new hobby!!! (like I needed another one!)
