Okay...I'm here to ammend the information in the post below this about "my personal carry knife". My lovely daughter in Utah, wanted one like it, and being staunchly committed to never make two knives exactly alike. I tried to make her a knife similar to the one I carried. I planned to use a file as blade material for her. Well, I ended up being unable to get the file knife to heat treat and temper to a finish I was pleased with. Many new files being made are not close to the steel of "older" ones, and can present an issue with heat treating. So, I sent the knife she liked to the mother of two of my fine grandsons. May she use it in good health and safely !! I did recently in answer to requests from clients, build a few "kitchen" knives. I've warned everyone that my "kitchen" knives could and will be made frm high carbon steel. I will make some stainless knives as well. So.......I'll soon (as soon as I get them edited and sorted out), be posting this new work.
