Cool. You may want to sand down a little in the back, the part were you would connect it to a connector. That part is what usually causes jams in knex guns.

It's called a "file" not a "scale" and is a bit dangerous to use without a handle. If your grip slips, the pointy part that fits into a handle (called the "tang") could be imbedded into your hand by accident.

For such a small project it really isn't that big of a deal, when I am shapening scythes at home I use a file without the handle just because I have to switch files constantly to keep them cool and to use different sizes. On bigger projects I understand the concern.

What the heck-- that's so cool! The pictures weren't too great, but I could see what you did in the last two pictures. That's awesome, would work for this one K'nex gun... just tried finding it on Instructables, didn't find it, there's too many K'nex guns! It's similar to KILLERK's K'nex gun, not the SV-R1, the other one, not the magnum either. Nice job on the Instructable anyways.
