Description
Previous Step: [link]Profiling the Handle, Part 2.
Now that the handle has most of the excess metal off, we take a file and clean up the details.
When going the drill route, I usually file down each of the metal points individually. As I progress down the line, I make sure not to cut too deep into the metal.
The main outline of the metal is starting to fade by this point. I will need to redraw it on the metal before cleaning up the larger sharp corners.

Wouldn't it will be easy for you if you use scriber for marking...????the outline will not fade if you use it.

You could. It just doesn't show up well in pictures, you know. Or you would need paint, which a lot of people use and then scribe it.

Totally taking notes... *Stares at my note-filled/doodle-filled notebook and covers up the little hearts with Logans name in them* So... that.... I can do this in the future! Yep.

Oh thank you, I was totally trying to draw your name out like graffiti... I mean... its blue!
Anyway, I seriously am paying attention, so that I can eventually make my own knife. And the first knife I make, I am naming it Logan. And then most likely retiring from knife making >.>

If you don't die from making it right? xD

Your mockery burns. -_-
If I die, I will put it in my will that whatever there is of the knife is sent to you. For like, inspirational purposes. Maybe you'll finish it and sell it for a million dollars based on the fact that its a cursed knife since an idiot girl lost her life in the making of it... woooooh haunted knife....
