Thats a great looking combo.

I gotta say, you guys who can forge blades impress the hell out of me. Knifemaking in its own right is extremley difficult to do, but to heat and hammer metal into shape is very very cool.

This blade is too big for my needs, otherwise i'd snatch it up!
 
Thanks Drew. Forging the blades saves me on belts for my grinder.You wouldn't believe how long the belts last me:)
 
Never thought of that. I guess everythings a trade off!

Just out of curiosity fo you know what kind of steel these old files would have been made from? What do you think the RC is on the final product?
 
I use old Nicholson files and treat them as 1095. Mostly I use 1084 but every now and then I pound out a file knife. I like the way they look and they hold an edge great. I honestly just field dress deer with my knives I have never hammered a blade into a cement block or chopped down a tree with it. RC about 56
