Hi guys,
I have been meaning to try making a knife for a while and just picked up and annealed billet of 1095 for a first try.
I am going to cut and shape by hand then knock together a jig for cutting in the bevel.
I am going to try and harden and temper myself with an impromptu forge (mapp torch and fire bricks and wanted to know how far to go with the sharpening process before heat treating????
Cheers, Hamster
