Old files are hard to throw away for me.
I made this blade some time back and was cleaning the garage and thought I need to go through all my tool box junk drawers.
I decided to finish this yesterday and made a handle from some oak.

Pig sticker.
The file JK on one side and sunflower on the other.
OAL is 15" and the blade is 9.75"

Just turning my junk into usable junk.

That's cool Swampratt! I've bought tons of tools (most aren't must haves but I'm a tool junky) in the last few months and my heat treat oven should be here next week. I'll see if I can turn out a decent product or not.

Nice work swamprat! My dad built a knife from a file while he was in the navy during WWII. Hard to sharpen but it certainly held an edge until I dropped it on some concrete and it broke in half. Too brittle.
