My 3rd file knife almost done.

I still have a little more sanding to do on the blade with higher grit paper but its getting there. Please tell me what you think.

That looks pretty nice! I assume you're going to put a point on it?

Must be my 2 mp phone camera and bad lighting. There actually is a point but the angles in the shots make it look a bit rounded. It actually has a pretty good point. It is not sharpened yet though so that will help it too.

Looks cool I like the diamond pattern on the blade

Interesting blade design... really nice handle work. Is the diamond pattern an artifact preserved from the stock material, or did you make it somehow?

The diamond pattern is left over from the patter of the file I used. It was a farrier rasp. Here is a picture of one up close you can see why it leaves that pattern when sanded flat. http://www.nordicforgeinc.com/couverture.jpg
