I still have to heat treat it, touch it up in some spots and file it down by hand. Or use the grinder if I'm feeling lazy. hehehe :smt003

Remember to practice safe knots, because big fish don't just break your line, they also break your heart.

Sure looks like fun to make your own knife!  Reminds me of this movie called The Hunted...

    Your making it look easy Craig.     :smt006     

       During a very low tide at SWS    I found a few pieces of a dive tank that had been broken up.   Looked like they were sliding back and forth  in the rocks for years as they were worn nearly flat with very sharp edges..   Might make a nice fillet knife if someone has the ambition. 
Sometimes the fish isn't the only prize.

Nice ! Your next knife project needs to be Damascus style, where the metal is folded over multiple times and pounded back into shape and gives it this crazy vein look. They are awesome. Nice job on the Bowie.

Hand filing. Boring. Boring. Trying to do it somewhat old school.
