Nuther one finally finished. We have a new baby and getting time to forge is rare. Here is an elk-handled forged file knife. Hope you like it

Looks real nice. I have an old chefs knife that I broke that I want to fashion into a nice belt knife. I like that one!

OK, you know it is against forum rules to make knife nuts drool on the keyboard.
Seroiusly, nice work

Very straight looking clip.
Did you cut it after the annealing or after forging/before tempering?

After forging and annealing the tip was rounded more than the finished product. I just filed the top edge off/flat as you see here. I believe the file I used was either a body putty file or a laminate countertop edge file. It had very widely-spaced teeth, much more than your normal metal file

Nice work! Looks like a handy blade to have in the field.

Each Knife Made is destined for someone's HAND
A Buck Alpha Hunter Folding Hunter was designed for my hand. At eight ounces, with a 3 1/2" blade it just feels right to me. The fact that its Stainless Steel CM154 or TS-34 blade is super-rugged mades me warm and fuzzy inside. I have a CM154 model with a nice leather scabbord. Fits the belt nicely, but unubtrusively. I feel I needed no other BIG knife for whatever job is required. Just my opinion, cliffy
