Here is another hobby I picked up on.
Damn YouTube! 😁
I repurpose old files. No forging, just material removal in its hardened state. (Grinding/cutting). Tempered the steel in an oven to make it less rigid.
Have to use old Nicholson Files because they are known to use a high carbon steel.
Wood handles are from different sources like an ash table leg from home depot. The pins are negative ground wire from HD as well. Free hand beveled. Using a Harbor freight 1x30 sander. A grinding disc for the rough cut. Lots of time and patience.
I like to leave the file lines and file name in the finished knife.
