The "Alpha Bastard"

I recently made a knife out of a bastard file. I was working around the forge and I saw something in the dirt that looked too uniform to be a rock. I dug it out and discovered it was an old broken bastard file. I’ve heard of people using files to make knives because of the high carbon steel used in file making. I’m really proud of this knife and how it came out. I look forward to making a few more. There are things I’d like to try out, specifically with the handle.
