Kevin that is a real nice lookin' knife.  I've often wanted to do one out of a file but have no idea where to begin.  Do you heat the file any during your process?

Nice looking knife Kevin.  You need any more curly maple or curly looking black walnut I have some.  Also have some nice looking cherry burl off my hunting property. Let me know.
