[TheForge] Japanese Sen experimentation

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

After I had some idea about what I was doing, I took
and old file that had been abused. It was about
.30"thick (big file) I ground the teeth off one face
about 3" wide in the middle. Then I ground the edge so
that all the teeth were gone (carefull not to burn the
steel in the grinding process) and then I ground the
bevel to the smooth side of the file to be 60-70
degrees and sharpened the edge with sharpening stones
until it would shave my thumbnail.


Can you take a pic of this Sen and send it along?

Good job on making it and describing it as well...Thanks
Mark
