Walnut and old file

[jonathan creason]

I forged this one out of an old file I found in my great aunt's barn. It has a little hamon action going on, but it's my first attempt at it and I didn't do a very good job of making it show. Walnut handle with an awesome grain pattern and copper hardware. The sheath is wet formed veggie tanned leather.

Any comments and especially critisms are appreciated.

Crap, nevermind. I can't get any image hosting site to work today. Photobucket keeps giving me error messages, and flikr gives me these red "x"'s. Tried picasa, but I can't figure out how to get the img code from there.

Your host seems to work fine. Great looking knife... walnut is always classy.

Thanks!

Yeah, I finally got photobucket to work using my cell phone. I guess wasn't liking something with my camera.

Very nice handle. Great reclaim of steel.

Good looking knife and sheath! I love it when something old gets turned into something new. Like Laurence said, send her a picture.

Thanks guys. Good suggestion on the pic. I'll have to show her the next time I see her.
