File knife trifecta

Had a member on here contact me about making some file knives in my trout and bird pattern. I chose three ancient metal files for the project; Delta, Black Diamond and Nicholson brands. Each took a great heat treat and temper resulting in a superior cutting edge and sharpenability. He requested a local stabilized wood and we decided on Lee county pecan with a fiddleback figure and a few mineral spots. Thought you might like to see.IMG_20200928_182952_392.jpg

Man alive, those look good.

I hope that file I got to you will turn out good.

The Man knows his stuff, and the quality shows. I don`t abuse my knives, but I use them. They hold up to the task at hand. And look good doing it.
