Check out my video. I do a abuse test with my bowie, and razor edge abuse test!
My bowie is a 5160 bowie.
You said the file was hard as hell to file down. This lets me know you dont know JACK about knife making. Let me help you out feller. Not being mean here, but I can obviously see as myself you put time into your knife. Which makes them almost useless if not properly treated. Check my video. Show a video of abuse test or the knifes are POS.
I gave my brother a Bowie for Xmas made out of an old swedish saw blade from the early 1900s.It has a 9inch blade around 5/16 thick.The knife was made in 1990s.The teeth section was harder(more brittle too) than the spine region -differential heat treatment.That knife is scary sharp.He cut thru a ham with one chop.A Dundee bowie for sure.Bought it from a Gun and knife show.Great job for a 16 year old kid Tex.Hold and edge but brittle like others said.
hey im 16 at the moment making my second knife first bowie.
with using the file anneal it so the file softens somewhat will be easier to work with then u can quench and temper again afterwards makes for easier sanding and alot stronger less brittle blade btw nice knifes you should go and sand those pits out and they would look outstanding =)
Buy yourself some 01 flat stock tool steel its cheap and you can make your bowie knives ----much easier than grinding a file down---heat treatment is also real easy --do a google ---careful with that small bowie it will be just as brittle as the file you made it from.
I liked you on tosh.0

I love how everybody keeps telling him how brittle the file knife is, even though he clearly stated that in the video.

Don't drop that file knife.
If you didn't draw the temper in an oven to say 500 it could break.
Files are hardened only, not tempered.
They make great knives, you just have to temper them.

did you heat treat those knives? cause if you used a grinder the edge would have been overheated and softend

Well they look a lot better that the first one I made a bout 50 years ago. Hope no one ever finds it.
You can heat treat those file knives with a torch or in an oven. They won't be so brittle.
Keep up the good work.
