I've tried my hand a filework a few times and even went as far as to cut some pieces of sheet to use as training blanks.
But the best I have ever managed to produce looks horrible compared to any of your work.

Seeing beautiful knives like yours give me inspiration to keep trying.

Very nice work! I like the look of the backsprings when filed and you have a lot of patience and talent. The scales really make those SAKs look special.

I've done exactly the same, and with similar results!

I decided that Id have to make guides to actually get everything to look even and consistently angled. But then I never got around to doing that.
