Got bored at work over the summer, so decided I could put the shop room to good use and decided to make a knife from a file. It's not completely finished, I just need to put a handle on it, but I've already started working on another one for the manager up here.
Made it from a Nicholson file, but I'm not sure I annealed it properly beforehand because it was pretty hard to work with. Other than using a hacksaw to cut off the excess file from either end, and then a bench grinder to remove the most material from some areas, the rest was done completely with files.
