This is my first attempt at making myself a bushcraft knife from an old file.
The file was annealed in a camp fire at Ivan's, then i ground off most of the teeth in the workshop.
I traced the outline of my mora for the blade, drew the tang freehand, then cut the excess material off with my grinder.
So far I have shaped the blank, and taken most of the stock from the grind, with the grinder.
And given all the rough edges a quick sanding.
Next step is to give it 99% of it's scandi grind, with a belt sander, before drilling the pin holes for the scales. After this I will re-temper the steel, fit and shape the scales, sharpen her up, then finally attempt to polish the blade best I can.
To be continued...
