Raspy Camp Knife

Jason Fry · Apr 18, 2009

Since I asked on here about farrier rasp HT, I thought I'd post a pic of one of the blades. I also did a WIP thread, linked here.http://www.greenbuggraphics.com/jasonfry/?p=212

Handle material is mahogany, with 3/16 brass pins. Here are the pics.

One of the nicest file knives I've ever seen....

I don't like it. You scratched the blade too much, and not even the same on both sides! One is straight lines, and one is triangles! Come on now!

I like file knives in general, and that's just plain cool. Looks like I need to get me a couple farrier's rasps...

I finished up a couple more of the rasp knives from the WIP thread. Here you go.

On the left is cocobolo with six 1/8 pins, on the right is bubinga with two 3/16 pins.

Do you forge at all, or anneal and grind?

Very nice, thanks for the pics!

Anneal and grind, then HT for this batch. Of the 39 knives I've made so far, I've forged exactly 3

I'm interested in forging, but just don't have the setup I'd like to have, and people keep buying these stock removal knives as fast as I make them.
