Good job. Nice looking knife.
Could you show us a little more of the work involved to get from start to finish?

Unfortunately, no. The idea about posting it was after the fact and I took no photos of the "during". I may make another for my son shortly. Perhaps that will present a photo op.
The big pieces of the work are annealing the file blank - in a charcoal fire - then shaping which was done roughly on a bench grinder, then on a belt sander, and finally with a series of files. The bolster and the oak scales are a whole 'nother set of details, as is tempering.

We sure got a bunch of handy guys here! Nice job. I'll have to take a couple pics of my "prototype 35" holster. Almost done.
