>> how long have you been doing that? <<
This knife has about 30 hours in it. I have probably only made about 8 total between autos, fixed and folders. I've done a few Mikovs and rescaled a few autos and thought I'd give a plain ole folder a shot. One thing led to another and this is the result.

A few more filework photos I dug up here:

Hats off to you all and your beautiful work! I've been reading this thread silently for about two weeks and decided to get off my butt and give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration! :D By the way, you can find all kinds of teeny little files, diamond dremel burrs and up to 12000 (really) grit polishing cloths at http://www.micromark.com.

Thanks for the link Watchdog49. Looks like they have some good stuff there - like metric drill bits.
