Fileworked ?

[SDMatteson]

What does a maker mean when he says the liners or the knife is fileworked and why is
it done ?

it means, if you look down at the knife, at the spine, there is decorative filework on it. Off the top of my head, you can see it at Rob Simonoch's site, he has lots of pics.

check under fixed blades, d'cicci knife, there is a pic of a filework there.
