X-file.
This 5mm thick naked kiridashi started life as an off-cut of bearing steel in Bones workshop .
Bones used the off-cut steel to practice some file work on for one of his gorgeous Bowies knives and then passed me on the off- cut at one of our knife maker meet ups at my workshop to turn into a kiridashi .
After profiling the scrap steel , it was ground and heat treated and I then dark etched in ferric before stone washing and sharpening .
