My Arbitrary Day santa wanted to get me something I could use and really nailed it! The one big thing on my bucket list is to learn to shoot a bow (that I've made) while riding a horse bareback. I also have a real interest in making knives. I've been eyeing up /r/bowyer and /r/bladesmith for awhile because of these, but haven't had a chance to get the tools I would need to get started.

The rasp is for the bow, and the file and handle are part of what's needed to build a jig for making the knives.

Buddy, I know you don't think this was much, but to me a tool is worth what make with it. I know these will get some ample use, and can't wait to make that first bow or forge and file that first knife. I couldn't have asked for a more useful gift!

Thanks a lot!
