Hi Guys been wanting to make my own knife for a while now. And i found some advice on Instrutables.com
From file to knife ; http://http://www.instructables.com/id/From-File-to-Knife-with-simple-tools/
soup can forge http://http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Soup-Can-Forge/
To start off I want to make a small 3" Svord Pheasant type knife out of an old file/rasp, But leave the rough file edge on the tang part for rough filing when carving bits and bobs
Ive got some apple wood for the scales from a 80 year old tree that blew down, should look good and be non toxic
Is there anything I have drastically overlooked or any advice you can give ?
