Here's a little bird and trout knife with finger ring that I just finished up for my wife's grandfather. It's made from a small 6" Nicholson file. The tang is forged and the blade is stock removal. Thanks for looking :)

Stunning! I LOVE it!
Nice job on that one,he will love it!!
WOW is an understatement. I absolutely love that knife. By far my favorite I have seen.
I join in the comments others have made about this striking little knife. I would like one just like it someday.

Curt, that is outstanding IMHO! I love file knives especially when the file teeth are left exposed. The twist of the handle is consistant and very appealing. Very nice file work too! I like the deep pattern. I would be interested to see what sheath design you decided on also!

Curt that is really nice!
How do you guys make those designs on the spine? File?
Thanks for the kind words, all :) Any critique would also be welcomed.
Carpy: Yes, you use a series of files for the spine work.
Steve: I made him a neck sheath like the others I've posted. For anyone confused as to how it works, here's a little video:
