Don't change a thing on the knife, it looks great, as if it has been around the world and well looked after.

Hi Folks,
I don't think you need an angle grinder, it just makes is easier to remove to musch metal. I made my
first knive using only a hacksaw and 3 full size files, 1 small round file and sanding paper. Oh yes and off-course some sharpening stones. (result here: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33066 ).
Just takes a lot of patience, but is really satisfying. I haven't done the heat treatment myself, but am planning to on the next knive. I'm thinking about using the BBQ and an hair dryer for this. I allready have a piece of a big circle saw softened as the blade material.
Keep up the good work.
