Thanks! It really is comfortable to hold and use even with no handle material!

Is that the only one you've made?

No I have another one in my gallery (way in the back I believe) that I made with stock removal years ago. I've forged 2 more blades but one broke when I was playing with it and the other didn't turn out very well so I threw it away. The one you saw is by far my best. My brother makes knives though and his are fantastic [link]

It started out as a file. I forged the tang and a portion of the body of the file into the handle then ground the rest of the body of said file into the blade of said knife. I don't know if I even understand what I just wrote...it's one piece, handle is forged and blade is ground (stock removal method). I'll add some close ups of it later.
Hope that helps!

Hey,that's perfectly clear.Very good,man-nice blade,(wether you heat-treated it or not,doesn't matter-file's 1% C,so very treatable),and very good looling,comfortable handle.Right on!

Thanks Jake...the line isn't as clear as on the Japanese stuff simply because I didn't polish it to "bring out" the line. I do appreciate the sarcasm.
