Matt R thanks!
I just used a small round file and a lot of patience. I started off by flattening the edge evenly around then used the round file down the center of my flat spot, if that makes sense.

I think I'll call it the Black Diamond Rifleman's knife. An old black diamond file, through tang construction. Amber dyed elk antler, brass guard and buttcap, and a copper ferrule. All of the metal fittings were jeweled with an engraving pen.

Just have to etch my logo, sharpen, and make a leather sheath.

This is the last knife I'm making until after I move into my new place!

These colors work great together, I really like this

An ambitious attempt of a Wheeler style bowie is afoot! Kind of a end of the year, best I can do, sort of thing...

That looks like a really nice start Daniel. Can't wait to see this one finished!

XHP koa boning/steaking knife

Beautiful lines and execution Butch! That is inspiring.
A batch of fillet knives are on my things to do list.
I'm just struggling with the guard and what I want to do there.

Here's something I wanted to share. Cutting feather with a hot cut is nerve wracking for me. I think I I did it in 4 heats.
Got one small blade forged up and looks like it welded just fine.

a Christmas gift I made for a friend!

 

[Maelstrom78]

I don't post here often but here you go.

so I made this knife for my wife , it's a Harvey Dean pattern in black/white ebony wood

then I made this Carter Cutlery pattern in O1 and cocobolo

then I bought this top long platen for my Hardcore

then I took a 5 hour TIG welding class ( no prior welding experience) , and made these angle brackets for disc grinders
my take on another maker's idea

tool shopping

bought a twin burner forge

fired it up

made 2 more, kingwood scales, my interpretation of Lamb handles

tried my hand at a kiridashi, slapped some leather on the side, surprisingly comfortable

75 yr old dad finally turned over his machinist toolbox to me

bought this anvil, made my own tree stump

just finished these 3 - Carter Cutlery neck knives in 1084

still haven't made a perfect knife but gaining experience and confidence the more I make.
