Title: Where to Buy a File Guide
Post by: Ragnarok Forge on June 09, 2011, 12:41:00 AM

Hi guys,

I was wondering where the best place to buy a carbide file guide would be.  I have been doing my final file work free hand.  I am sure I can improve my knives by using a file guide to get square shoulders and really sharp, square bevels at the ricasso.

Clay,
 Two places. John Perry Knives or Riverside Machine Shop. These are both pricey, but they will back their product and they are quality. Both can be found on the web. They both will probably be in Atlanta by now, so give them a few days.

Yep, I'll second Uncle Al's   :thumbsup:  I built a couple of my own from full hardened O-1 that worked fine till they broke, don't over tighten... Don't expect I'll need another one from the looks of the one I got from Riverside.
