New Forged File Knife
« on: April 13, 2023, 04:25:28 PM »
I finished this knife yesterday and thought I would share.  It is made from an old file that I found while metal detecting an early homesite.  It is 9-1/2” long and has a 5” blade with a deer tine handle and pewter bolster.  Thank you for looking!!

That’s a good looking knife and a good size and shape for big game. Nicely done.

I second what Rich said -- just the right size also. ;) 8)

That is a good size for big game. I like a blade 5" to 6" long for moose and elk.

Very nice knife.  The finish gives it a nice patina.
