Nicholson File blades

[J. Hoover]

Here's two I did over the weekend, still need to make sheaths for them. Double quenched, and tempered at 400 degrees for two 2 hour sessions. They were allowed to cool to room temp between cycles.
Handles are Winewood and Cocobola.
Hand sharpened to razor edge.
The boards they are resting on are 2X6's.

Thanks sam, I appreciate the compliment. I'm trying to find the time to finish out sheaths for them this weekend.
