"the Whatchamacallit"

[greeneyedblackcat]

This is my second knife ever, not really sure what kind of knife it is so I'm calling it "the Whatchamacallit" The oak is over 200 years old and came from a historic farm house located on the brandywine battlefield during the revolutionary war, a carpenter buddy of mine was on a historic remodel and saved me a chunk.

Pretty neat looking knives. What steel was used?

This farriers rasp behaved like 1095 when I hardened it.

Looks almost like an old scalper pattern., and looks pretty good!
The older rasps were pretty easy to work, although the Belota's were the most prone to breaking. If I remember correctly the Nickleson's were either 1084 or 1095.
