What kind of steel? Are you doing the heat treating yourself or is there a company you plan to use? What kind of handle material are you going to use? Seeing this makes me miss it... wish I still had a garage to work in whenever I wanted. |

That is cool. I am kind of tempted to give this a go now. I need a new skinning knife for hunting season anyway.

Metal I’m using is 1080. I heard that 1080/1084 is best for the beginner. My buddy made coffee can forge, so we’ll be doing heat treating ourselves... til we gotta do O1, D2 or other mystical metal for beginner to heat treat lol As for the handle, I’ll be using G10 plus maybe adding some carbon fiber for the looks. Still still debating on final design. Quote:
I’m no expert, but if you do start, buy shit tone of sandpapers, cuz you’ll use A LOT of em. Of course, you can do 1095, 440C or other better metal... but for beginner wolf will prob agree w me to use 1080/1084 steel. |
