This isn't only my first, but my ugliest!!! Made it from a old machette I found in my basement. Scales are oak, held on with dry wall screws.

This is my very first attempt at a knife made from a old file file I found in the bush near a old camp site it's very rough but I have limited tools to work with, a grinder, bench grinder, files and various sand paper plus my stone to sharpen it after hardening

[rebel]

Nice work.

I was out pounding a couple today. Lol, mine are still ugly. That's the way it is.

[ctdcb18b]

[ibosserman]

My first knife wouldn't cut too much. It was made out of a piece of wood. lol. But at the time it was all I had. I wish I still had it. I lost it in the woods.

Ok finished my first ever homemade knife from a file, handling and paracord wrap, blade hardened well and holds a amazingly good edge here is a pic image.jpgimage.jpg

The belly is obviously ****ed, but the rest looks workable.

Guys I want to start making my 2nd knife and I want to make it from another file, any recommendations on a good file to purchase fit for the purpose also the best technique to soften the steel

I Use nicholson Files And I Soften them In a Fire And Let them Sit in it till it Burns Out and There Good To Go
My Main Tools I Use for My Knives Are (Files,Angle Grinder,1X30 HF sander,All Grits Of Sandpaper and Some Sweat to Make them Look Nice .I Also Use Grounding Wire for My Pins.
