Different Raspy Knife - 01/20/14 10:47 PM
Used a different type of rasp on this one. Turned out okay I guess. Looks sort of like gills on a shark and the spine looks like a swordfish bill. Sort of a salty skinner I guess.

Looks like a butter knife.
But a fine one at that.

Very cool and very nice work. Do you heat treat after making the blade or do you keep things cool enough to maintain the original hardness then temper it down?

I keep the blade portion cool enough throughout the process and then temper them down to 59-61. I have to anneal the tang enough to be able to drill through them though. They are sure tough on belts.

Saw one of those files in the shop at work and was thinking about how cool of a knife it'd make. Looks like you beat me to it

Reminds me of an oyster knife.

Any ideas on what that file is used for

My guess would be for some pretty rapid wood removal but I've been wrong before.
