Kaila, those knives are BADD ASS!!!!

[@tonyroberts9009]

Good work reusing old files making something useful. Thumbs up!

[@ChuckNorrisUltra]

I really like the ones with the drawn out tails made into handles. Also, anytime you say chubster, you giggle. lol I'm just glad I'm not the only one.

[@Vyacheslav_Oz]

From Russia with love, very cool 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@glenpaul3606]

Your knives look great and i really like the scales you made for them. I made my first knife from a regular file and it turned out pretty good. We have horses so we also have several old hoof files like the ones you showed in this video. I wondered if I should try to make knives from them and you are the first person I've seen do that. Unfortunately, I do not have a forge so I can't heat and hammer them smoother. The big rasp teeth were what concerned me. I am going to set up a cheap forge to heat treat but it wouldn't work like a real forge for shaping etc. I might just give it a try with one of the hoof files. I did order some 1084 5/32 2" wide to begin making knives hence the need to heat treat.

[@drzarkloff506]

My big hands would feel right at home on those knives.

[@MarkDohring]

Kaila really cool knives.. I’m going to have to checkout ur videos. .. I’ve always wanted to try an make a knife .. thanks for posting ..

[@derekdavis6508]

People don't realize how much work it is, I watch my dad from start to finish, knife makers never get paid enough for the hours they put in it, it's a passion Im ADHD I don't have the patience, I do help but I'm always afraid I'll mess up a knife, especially if your using ivory scales, it can be an expensive mess up, so I practice with scrap usually, he became a blade smith, now I wanna make my own, that reminds me, I have been looking for dragon scale scales, anyone know where I can get them.

[@donvandenberg5301]

Really like that smaller cleaver style with the blacksmith handle.

[@weedtheblunted4143]

I really like the course side rasp on the blade looks awsome.. keep up the amazing work....🤘🤪🤘

[@1006foster]

I’ve been watching your channel for a long time and wow you’re work has really come a long way your stuff is really getting very refined now I really do like the wide blades with the hi grinds very reminiscent of snodeys stuff

[@dioginhoooooooo]

love your eyes... and your work!

[@MrBFvet]

Nice knifes, congratulations from Brazil.

[@Youtubeforcedmetochangemyname]

I've been making them out of told broke files and files people give me for making knives they have held extremely good edges for long periods I love how they turn out

[@thegit8698]

I love knives made from files and rasps and those are really nice, would you do a video on making a rasp knife?

[@ksapp2622]

I make knifes all the time out of those files just finished a big saux and a boar spear tip

[@2AEnthusiast]

Nice knives. I liked the first one the most.

[@manta1969manta]

[@GlockByMySide87]

[@menacewithaknife4045]

Beautiful work #2 my favorite. Wish I could afford it. ☺

[@richardcranium6554]

Very talented! Pretty knives, pretty lady.

[@GodseyKnives]

I love making blades from those type rasps they make decent tomahawks too

[@steveh567]

Well done 🔥🔥🔥‼️

[@ChuckNorrisUltra]

Now, forge the blade back into a rasp Daniel son. Then sell it.

[@ViolentKisses87]

Watch out that pickle has a knife!

[@kailacumings]

Bahahahaha I shall name the knife the DILL

[@ChuckNorrisUltra]

Besides yourself, who is your favorite commercial knife maker?

[@spellenerrer6648]

You are awesome

[@stevewelborn8744]

Yes ma'am I like them alot.

[@corbinschleede3115]

Did you mean we cpuld purchase the knives or the files? Id love to get my hands on a couple of them files. Im just starting out too using Nicholson files and id like something beefer

[@jinx3675]

What kind of handles are those again?

[@skyhighcoins7921]

Nice

[@89schofe]

I usually end up turning my old files into chisels, I can imagine you have to play around with the temper to get the right hardness right for a blade though?

[@glenpaul3606]

My first knife was from a rusty old common file and I was very careful to keep it cool during grinding because I had no way to heat treat. The knife turned out good and it was hard enough to hold a good sharp edge.

[@89schofe]

@@glenpaul3606 I can see how that's possible, the steel is at it's maximum hardness. You could probably clamp aluminium bars to the spine to absorb the heat generated as your grinding

[@jerrynemec930]

Please show the video of the knife you made for me, it’s one of you best blades you’ve ever made !!!

[@kailacumings]

Which one was it I cant remember 😂

[@Kevin-is-here]

You gonna do any videos of you doing the forging?

[@kailacumings]

I have a few videos of me forging and grinding on my channel already ;)

[@EdwardIglesias]

The one time I tried making a knife from a file I didn't know about the whole annealing thing. Made for slow going.

[@kailacumings]

Omg yes! I should have mentioned that. That was one thing I hated about working with files, but having a nice forge helps speed up the process too

[@corbinschleede3115]

Yep i learnd that the hard way too. Also learned not all files are created equal. And some are just case hardened

[@Jim_Cox]

With annealing first can you make a knife from a file using the material removal method with hand tools or would that be too difficult?

[@kailacumings]

I always take my file heat treat it to temp then let it air cool to soften it up so I can drill my handle holes and grind it. Then I heat treat, quench, temper, then finish the knife

[@kailacumings]

[@qlimaxbass5022]

Dear Kaila your voice like music ^^

[@bobbyhognuts4153]

What state are you in? 1st vid I thought Pa (my home state), but after a few vids I'm thinking more north possibly Maine or NH. Nice work btw

[@ivosilva9400]

ficou muito bonitas posta videos forjando uma facas dessas

[@drifterronin4905]

Can I buy any of these knives? If so how

[@kailacumings]

Absolutely! My website is kailacumingsknives.com

[@ViolentKisses87]

Just thinking out loud, please ignore. For over a decade people spoke about knife weights and I was just Meh who f'ing cares? But now I'm starting to look at lighter weight knives.

[@kailacumings]

Yeah I mean its relevant if the weight matters to you and depends on what you're using the knife for. I like my folders to be lightweight so I dont have this big heavy thing in my pocket, but I like to have my bushcraft blades and machetes with some weight behind it.

[@TheMemoryOfAllThat]

Thanks Kaila. Good work. If I may suggest, lose the music. It's distracting.

[@kailacumings]

Shoot, I added it in and didnt turn it down all the way. It sounded way too quiet without it but I guess i didnt turn it down as much as i thought i did :( that stinks
