I have a NAA in .32NAA, a .380 necked down to .32. I see great minds think alike!! But I have to admit it kicks worse than my .454 Casull.

Re: A knife for Sara:Part 1Annealing and design (pics)

I am really enjoying your post about making knives from files. Please keep posting as you go.

I was thinking about your design, maybe you can use the tang and save some of the file for a second knife? Some of the Finnish Pukkos use a tang similar to the files for the grip.
