Knife spine file work 

Best video I've seen on filing in the thorn pattern. Thank you so much.

Great job, that's gorgeous

From ky, USA, thank you for your file work. It makes a difference when you don’t act all, “ I know t all”, attitude

Thanks for explaining what you did on the vine work. Most don't. I like your style. - Jerry

VERY nice!!

Really clear no fuss explanation 👌

Hi Alan, Quick tip: Files only cut on the forward stroke due to the nature of the teeth, when you put pressure on during the back stroke you aren't doing any cutting, just rounding over the teeth and dulling the file. So if you lift the file on the back stroke you will dramatically increase the life of you files. Cheers

Can you do this along the spine of an already forged knife that's been heat treated?

I tried this on my opinel´s spine and now it looks like I have a double bladed knife, one side with enough "decorative" serration to cut bread. Everything looks easy when you have years of experience under your belt.

Thanks for your help! Check out how my spine turned out on my channel. What a huge help.

Good job! just out of interest what thickness steel are you using? would it work on 4mm?

🙂😎👍
