I actually haven't done file work yet because I didn't think it was going to be easy. You made it look easier than I thought it would be

Yes I will try! This is why I'm working on. The finished one is the same as the one I'm working on on the photos. It's my new signature knife. The Bowie Belt knife

Bruce, you did a really good job of teaching basic file work - looks really good. Now to move that file work over to a real blade.

Thank you very much Ken. I suggest that y'all practice on some Lowes mystery steel first.
