A friend and I used KHalverson's build along and made a couple of knives together. He did the shaping and metal work, and I did the handles and finish work. The blades are about 1/4" thick and the handles are bloodwood and yellowheart, with 1/8" brass pins.

These were made from pretty big files, so they are very heavy. Do you thin the files down a bit when you make them? Thanks for the build along it was very useful!
