Lovely figure on that Elm

Did that fix it ok ?

Saw is possibly low comp . caused by wear/previously light seize in the piston and cylinder . starts and runs initially then as things warm up and expand clearances become wider and comp drops off to below whats needed for combustion .

The working corner on a scraper is much wider than the angle on a knife so less likely to break . I have made scrapers from files to flatten a surface table . ( old school ) Also I understand heat treatment of steels having been a tool maker for 30+ years .
-
At the risk of repeating my self I think the file as it is , would be too brittle especially at the very sharp edge without some adjustment to the heat treatment . Just my opinion based on past experience . No wrath here

watched a bloke do it once to one of my saws . Thought he was trying to wind me up .....

-
Agreed .
-
Its quite obvious that I was wrong in what I said about files and I am sorry . I dont pretend to have superior knowledge of anything . Only speaking from my own experience . I am glad your knife is a success .
