    What a gorgeous knife...
    It's a unique design that really does mimic a bone knife like you say.
    Awesome work!

    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.
