Hello, I'm new to the forums lol first post. Anyway, I'm making a knife from a nicholson usa made file. I have not annealed it, I annealed the last file I was working on and had it warp and snap when trying to work out the warp. I had already put a scandi grind on it and heat and tempered it. Everything wad good until I attempted to work out that warp and it snapped. the knife that snapped was my 3rd knife iv made. I'm currently active duty stationed on camp lejeune, so I'm working with whatever tools I have in my shop. But I was gonna try the new file without annealing it and have already shaped it but I can't drill the holes in the handle because of obvious reasons. Not even the drill press will work. I'm asking for any helpful input. Any reply is welcome and thank you for your time in advance. -CCK-
