This is my first attempt at filing the Roman Knot design.
I had an idea about how I was going to do it before I started but that went out the window real quick :)
All things considered, I think it came out ok. Most importantly, the new owner likes it.


Specs:
Steel: ¼” CPM 154CM
Hardness: 61 RC
Handle Material: Desert Ironwood with micarta bolsters.
Blade Length: 4 ¾”
Overall: 9”

Wow, that adds so much class and beauty to that knife!! I'm going to have to learn how to do it:)!
 
That is classy. I typically hate file work, but that actually looks very nice.
 
Would you mind explaining how you did that? I've been interested in decorative filework, but typical spinework seems weird with a handle. That, on the other hand, is extremely elegant without detracting from your design.

That's pretty much it except instead of triangular file, I used a flat file with one edge ground smooth. My main problem was that I was simply over thinking the process.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

I like this knive ......every detail :thumbup:
 
I don't care much for file work either, but that looks great. Really complimentary to the overall design. The blade shape is elegant as well. I may have to give that a shot on one of mine.
 
Love the filework! Congrats and thanks for sharing!

K & G Knife supply also sell a powder in several colors that you add to epoxy. I bought some and it lasted over 10 years doing many knives a year.
