New life for a file

drdavid · 26th March 2006, 04:28 AM

Hi all
here is another recent purchase, this from Bhutan I believe (well it looks like the few other Bhutanese knives I have seen). It has obviously been made from a file and is some serious steel. It is close to 25 cms (10") of blade and is obviously meant for heavy use. The sheath is beautifully worked. The forumites often show examples of old blades being given new lives, here is an old tool resurrected as a knife.
