# 237 Extra Large Drop Point – Bastard File Steel

DTH Knives This one started as a worn-out bastard file—used hard, tossed aside, and ready to be forgotten. Now it’s something else entirely. Forged and ground by hand, this extra large drop point carries that past forward. The steel still holds its attitude, but now it’s tuned for performance. Dual hollow grinds—4” along the top and a full 10” along the edge—give it a long, clean bite while keeping the blade balanced and alive in the hand. Jimping along the spine adds control where it matters, especially when the work gets real. The handle brings the contrast. Walnut, warm and grounded, fused with a hit of orange resin that catches the light just right. Yellow liners frame the build, and brass pins lock it all together with that classic, no-nonsense finish. It’s not just for looks—it’s built to be held, used, and trusted. It rides in a vertical sheath, hand-dyed in brown and tan. Nothing flashy—just honest leather, made to carry the blade the way it was meant to be carried. Every mark, every line, every decision—done by hand. No shortcuts, no duplicates.
