YASS!! Looks amazing and can only assume it holds an edge well. I restored my mom's favorite kitchen knife and made a matching protective sleeve for the blade and honestly shocked myself by how amazing it looks. Still, I love knives and honing my knife sharpening skills and have been wanting to make my own knife. I looked for ways without a forge and wasn't impressed until I found your video. Game on!

[@georgemckenzie2525]

I am inspired to take a cut off wheel to the old hoof file . Excellent post

[@samhunt9380]

Interesting project, Thanks for sharing. Many years ago when I was a slaughterman, many of us made our honing steels out of round files. Hours of work in smoothing them off and polishing with emery cloth. Chainsaw files were the choice in making small but highly effective honing steels. Our knives where alway razor sharp and didn't need a big steel to maintain the edge......

[@pretorian3256]

Hermosa!! lo que más me gustó es que usaste herramientas muy básicas y que cualquiera puede tener en un taller y creaste una bella y funcional cuchilla. Otros artesanos meten un montón de herramientas que al final a quien empieza en este hobby lo terminan frustrando jajaj saludos de Chile

[@TysyTube]

very beautiful piece of art

[@MRcustomcrafts]

Thank you very much👍

[@TheCutter5150]

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship from just a simple file, truly AMAZING! 👏

[@MRcustomcrafts]

Thanks

[@Mad9977]

i like that it still has some traces of the file left on it 😎👍 pretty cool

[@germancarspotter4514]

Nice to see you here :)

[@asymmattrical]

Looks awesome! But I'm curious if all that constant grinding might have compromised the heat treat of the edge. I saw some discoloring of the metal that got buffed out later... is it able to retain its edge well? Thanks!

[@MRcustomcrafts]

Thank you very much. if it maintains, if it is a good file.👍

[@ronaldoberley3116]

A man after my own heart. I'm going to give it a try. Thank you so much.

[@simonsaunders12]

That turned out amazing thanks for showing how to.

[@PiperX1X]

Well we have rain forecast for tomorrow and I was wondering what I could do to fill the day in, I know now! Thanks for a great video custom knives I’ll have a go tomorrow, hope I can produce something just as good as the one in your video.

[@MRcustomcrafts]

Hehehehe😜, yes, friend. A rainy day is the best for making knives. With practice and patience, you will surely get it. Regards!😋👊

I promised a workmate that I'd make him a big fishing knife from some old files that I inherited. That was in 1985 I think. I'd better get on it! HaHa! Great video, thanks.

Salu2 dsd lo mas al sur de Andalucía y la bahías mas salerosa. Dicho esto, al lío (promoción del teruño) Gracias, gracias y mil gracias por demostrarme/nos que nosotros, en este nuestro país y en nuestra lengua, somos capaces de hacer lo mismo que se hacen otros muchos países y en otras lenguas. Está claro que por acceso a equipos, medios para acceder a esos equipos, (comercios especializados) y formación, entre otros, esos países nos han servido de referencia segura para iniciar estos canales EN ESPAÑOL y por españoles. y aquí quería llegar. Me explico Desde hace muchos años "he seguido a los mismos",seguro, que muchos de ustedes y, ahora me alegra comprobar que son los nuestros los "que florecen" en este espacio y esto es lo que les propongo... Promocionar a los nuestros, de nuestra tierra y en nuestra lengua, como hizo usted con otro al que ya localicé y me suscribí. Por mi parte, aún sin espacio de trabajo, no cejo y lo lograré mas pronto que tarde Un abrazo y, de nuevo, gracias, Un abrazo, Juan

[@Lynn.Lawson]

Now that's a knife! I've seen other people do knives from files on YT but they're not as nice as this one. By making it yourself, you probably got a better knife too.

[@jerrybetancur5204]

Had a friend back in the early 70's that used to make razors from rasp files. We worked in a local slaughter house and used razor sharp blades on a daily basis.

[@MRcustomcrafts]

Fascinating, I have made a razor, but not with a file.👍

[@JoseMETALMUNDO]

Como siempre brutal!!!!! Lijadora de banda nueva no compi? Ampliando maquinaria 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Miedo me das! jajajajaja Un abrazo grande friend! Like 👍🏻

[@MRcustomcrafts]

[@Crlpope]

My dad made knives out of old files about 80 year ago and he used aluminum for handles he worked in a ice plant and they had everything he needed, he also made blades from old crosscut saw blades that lasted for ever.

[@MRcustomcrafts]

Interesting. If it's true, they can last a lifetime, if they're well done. Thank you very much for your comment, I liked it a lot👍
