My reclaimed file knives

[Matthew Bolk]

Hello! I think I will group here in next future my works, so to create a easier to read thread...
This is my last one, finished this morning, a cross between a Nessmuk and a Skinner. Made from a Nicholson 8" file with kingwood scales (bois de violette). Hope you like it!

Really like the first file knife! Nice lines.

 

[Craig Daniel]

Very nice, I also use old files and rasps for knives from time to time.

Nice job! Does that first one really say Nicholson Holland? I know that the Nicholson Cobourg, Ontario, Canada operation folded up many years ago and I don't think there's much being made by Nicholson in USA anymore either.

 

[Matthew Bolk]

Yes, you are correct... All of the used Nicholson files that I find here in junk markets in Italy are marked "Nicholson Holland". Only few of them say "Brasil" and only one that I've found "Canada".

Very nice job sir. Keep up the good work! I like the bevel and the contrast it makes with the file teeth.

Next one: vintage 8" Nicholson file with wengé scales.

A small one ground from a 6" Bellota file, with white micarta scales.
