More "Fun With Files"

[Kai Winters]

Hi all,
Picked up a new set of diamond files, for hardened steel, at Harbor Freight yesterday and wanted to try them out. Decided my 566 needed/wanted some embellishments on the stainless steel side so I took the knife apart and went at it in my shop.
The diamond files worked far better than I expected considering they cost me eight buckeroos.
My skill is lacking but the only way to improve is to practice.
The file work on the lower left side is the same as the rest. The lighting makes it look really bad.

It looks really cool, I never thought of putting file work on the frame like that. Very nice.

I like it. How long did it take you?

 

[Kai Winters]

Probably a couple of hours total.

"Lacking skill"? That looks freaking professional man. Awesome job.

I have a folder of pictures of different file work on my computer for ideas when I finally decide to try some myself and your pic's are now in that folder. Again really good work man.

Thanks,
I too have a folder of knives, file work, etc. for my wallpaper and screen saver.

That looks nice, I never thought I see a 0566 like that. Keep up the good work!
