Good information all . Thanks I'll check it out. I like to use repurchased material. My brass is old survey markers and the handles are old awards (walnut ) the pins are stock tank float rods .everything is out of my junk pile.
I totally agree with all that, old village smiths wasted no precious iron, either. But it will help to research various known file alloys so that the heat treat is not a guessing game and all the work wasted on a knife of dubious materials. Many knife making forums will have the file info on file.
