Making a Northern Knife from a File

Making a Yakut knife from an old metal file and a piece of branch stabilized with a polymer. The knife is made in accordance with northern Yakut knife-making design: a simple handle and asymmetrical blade.

[@Advoko]

Robin, thank you for your compliment!

[@sts2223]

beautifully crafted knife I've seen a documentary about the tribes that live with reindeers and their explanation for the shape of the blade was simply that metal is a scarce resource and this indentation allows for a knife of adequate size with less raw materials

[@DrDIYhax]

very cool

[@hudsonhornet6558]

The traditional handle method of fitting the tang helps me out a lot and gives me a great way to try it I just got a Yakut knife blank as a gift and I want to make a really nice handle for it

[@reginaldwinsor2759]

Impressive metallurgy. This is truly a work of art. In fact, I would call it a masterpiece.

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

Normally, a file is too high in carbon for this to work out well, but this is how tempering keeps the hardness of the file on the edge - yet imparts flexibility into the spine... Perfection. This is what you want. This is high carbon brittle steel being worked at it's finest. A pleasure to watch a master blade smith at work.

I've made a Yakut knife. It was very enjoyable and can be done with even lump charcoal, a hair dryer a hammer and a sledge hammer head as an anvil.

You can always just grind one out of a file, they are already heat treated...
