My first file knife and sheath
« on: April 29, 2012, 12:47:00 PM »
This is my first knife and sheath. I tempered it two times 490 degrees, i tried lower temperatures but it still remained very hard,490 seemed to do it.
I submerged my sheath in melted beeswax which made it almost like plastic now my knife snaps in place and stays there.

I WOULD LIKE TO POST PICTURES BUT IT IS CRAZY COMPLICATED.
