Some of my filework

Just joined here and thought I would show a few knives I have fileworked. I do about 26 different patterns currently.

    Honestly, I mostly use a diamond burr on my dremel  3/16 & 1/4 are the ones I use the most but have started on using 3/8 and 1/2" a lot.  As far as my "favorite" pattern that I use?  The last one......LOL.  I'd say that most of my work revolves around a modified vine pattern with mixes of various patterns intertwined to keep it mixed up.

    • We all know there are many different files out there, and tons of manufactures. Tell us a little about the files that you use and why you use them.

      Many of us use diamond files, but what kind?

      Is there a certain kind that you found to be the best?

      Is there a certain kind of file pattern you use the most?
