Knives made from files. . .pic's please

[atomicjoe23]

I've seen a few knives made from files that are quite beautiful. . .I know quite a few people make knives from files in their garages, etc. when they are first starting and I find it interesting to see the knives people make from the materials they have on hand. . .plus I enjoy forged knives with a little characther left on them vs. ground knives (not to say I don't enjoy a ground knife though).

So I thought I would ask members to post up pic's of knives they have made, own, or know of that were made from files. . .I'll start it off with these that I have seen. . .

Joe Keeslar "Southwestern Bowie" made from a rasp. . .

Serge Panchenko has more than a few in his Art knives:

"Twisted Handle Blacksmith's knives" made from a Nicholson files. . .

"Tribal Dagger" also made from a Nicholson file with a bottle opener pommel

"Viking Blacksmith's knife". . .

"Blacksmith's Twisted Hunter". . .

"Gambler's Dagger". . .

"Twisted Dagger". . .

Probably enough for now. . .as I go through Serge's website there are quite a few more knives that appear to have been made out of files. . .all of which look very finished and I would not consider rough or amateurish at all.

That southwest bowie made from the file is causing my mind to implode, just can't comprehend this object of beauty!

One of a couple Michael Morris's I have, It's my favorite one. He made me a friction folder ( my second one from him) but this one fits into a clik fit style kydex neck sheath.

This is one paring knife I did in a knifemaking class by Peter Hammer.
Actually he grinded the hollow in the blade, as I´m not competent to do this kind of precision work.

 

[atomicjoe23]

Nice looking paring knife!
