Made this from a Nicholson file. It is my first one and I had a blast doing it. I made some mistakes on this one that I wont make again but overall I am pleased with it. Cant wait to start my next one.

Great job, and much better than my 1st....or 2nd.
Nice job. Don't make it your last one cause you have talent!
Oh very nice. Congratulations. I'm betting it's addicting.

Great job. I'm a fan of file knives. I like the file teeth still displayed on the blade. Very nice.

Great looking first knife! Can't wait to see #2.
I'm a simple man, of simple means, turned my back on the machines, to follow my dreams.
If you can hold it and it cuts, it's a good knife. After that it's all details.

That was my first and only knife. I use it daily. The wood is solid Brazilian cherry flooring I picked up from a flooring retailer throwing away obsolete samples. The file I got from a pawnshop for $1 and both pins and tube came from the flooring shop as well.
I used vinyl plank flooring that I heated with oven to shape for sheath. I am about to start Christmas neck jnives for family.
Thanks for checking out my knife.

Almost a year between posts. Time to make another knife.
Nice for a first timer. It's better then anything I built. My last attempt turned out one of the ugliest POSes ever made.

I'll bet mine beats it....LOL

That's a real beaut! I really like the profile! Nice work!
I like it.
I must say though that I have mixed feelings when I see somebody's first effort blow away my first dozen.
Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice - Grey's Law.
