Hello forumers.
My first knife project, a pretty standard O1 woodlore clone which I am hand grinding with basic files in my crummy one bedroom London flat (no workshop here!), has stumped for the first time.
I have had it heat treated and am ready to finish the bevel off and fit the scales. I left about 0.5mm of stock on the edge, so it wasn't too fragile during heat treatment. Now I've gone to carry on, it's a lot harder to file than I anticipated! I went at it for a good half hour an removed very little!
Any tips on what sort of file I can use to finish her off? Surely I don't need any sort of powered grinder having come this far without electricity?
THANKS.
