Files nicely but pretty stout. Blades are 3/4" diameter by 6" or 8" long. They are tapered on my metal lathe and a 1/2" x 3" long tang is buried inside the handle and epoxied in. It takes lots of grinding and sanding and file work to make these blades then the handles are turned from 1.5" blocks about 8" long. Handles are finished with multiple coats of Danish oil for a matte finish.
