since BB has decided to die i am going to ask here.
does anyone know an answer to any of these questions?:
1) i am making a zombie slayer which is (full length) half a meter long and 5mm thick, will this work if made out of 01 tool steel?
2) will drilling the handle weaken the blades strength and on a blade this size will it make a difference?
3) how should this size of a blade be heat treated and who can i send it to for HT?
4) how much will this HT cost (average)?
5)something else, will edit later when it comes to me
6) am i actually insane for attempting this as a first knife?
first question is the most important really because i am itching to get started and buy materials so i will have no excuse to put it off for another few months... again...
