File Drop-point Knife
File Drop-point Knife
Basic drop-point knife using a single-cut medium file for blade stock. The thin design is inspired by simple bird-and-trout knives.
Note to anyone felling compelled to use files when building knives: smooth out the teeth on the face/ricasso of the knife. It just works better that way.
