Bob, I really like that a bunch! Cool edge grind. The sheath really ties all the elements together nicely! Nice package!

What did you quench it in?

I have a similar project in the works.

Steve I quinched this one in recycled (USED  one mans trash....) synthetic compressor oil
It skated a file really well before tempering.

Ok I'll be the first to be critical ! As I see it the only problem is that combo is not here in my hands now to keep! LOOKS GREAT!

Looks great. I have a couple of rasps I plan on turning into knives once I get that hobbie started  :)  How is the balance between the blade length and the handle. To my untrained eye, blade looks a tad short, but that might just be the angle of the photo. I have fairly big hands so a large handle to blade ratio will probably be the go for me.
