COOL! So that is what you been up to. I love what you did with the old wood file. What character it has.

I use ta make meat cleavers for the hunting clubs around here. Used 316 stainless steel for the blade and Redrock (Brazilian hardwood) for the handle. They were killer!! A friend of mine made alot of knives out of old log chipper blades. He worked in a saw mill and got all the old blades he wanted for free.

That's great Stink!
Are you planning to do any work with stainless?

I've been thinking about making knives, but right now I have way too many hobbies as is. I shot my Blackhawk last week(finally) and its going to need some new grips(badly). I orderd up some burl black walnut to make a set of grips for it, I still need to finish off my last set of grips for my Kimber, and get back to restoring my Win. 94. Way too many things going on, and that's besides, boat stuff, fishing, my buggy project, etc...

Very nice I realy like the look of the O'l raspa major character points there. Might have to take it up I got access to all kinds of steel.
