Venator 7 5/8 inches

This one has my first attempt at gimping on it. It didn't come out perfectly spaced. I think I'll invest in a checkering file. It was really hard to keep the file lined up to space the grooves. Any tips on gimping would be great.

Files from Jantz are pricey but they do last, you'll get nice even clean sharp lines, slow steady even strokes is the key I found
