just finished this unique file knife today. this is from a thick Nicholson file i had on hand. deep hollow grind blade with a nice copper hamon line. just a fun project to work on.

That’s awesome! Is that a LaRue armadillo

thanks, brother. yeah, that is an armadillo. it was a gift from a good customer. i keep it on my whiskey bar.

Dimensions? Going to put a handle on it?

it is 10.0" overall with a 5.0" blade. the file is 3/8" thick, that is why i left it without any handle scales. it is a pretty thick boy as it is.

As the proud new owner of this work of art, as good of a photographer dozer is, it doesn't quite do justice to the copper hamon. It's a beautiful line and really sets off the blade.

I have always wanted one of his Nicholson file knives and this it.

Quality craftsmanship

thanks for the kind words. i hope it treats you well for many years to come.

cranked out a second file Bowie. this one is slightly different, but i think i like it better.
