Oh man, thanks! With my first prototype I did the hand torch/draw to blue technique, that worked fine. However, it was super easy to mess up. I figured since I have the kiln now, there should be a better way. How long do you leave the spring in the oven at that temp? Thanks again for...

I got my kiln, and slipjoints have been on my list to try once I got caught up on other orders. Is there a general time and temp for most steel that needs to be a spring? I've been looking online and can't find much. Thanks ! Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

Heck yeah. I've seen a few with micarta bolsters. I'd still peen it, but also put some super glue on those bolsters. I've found that gorilla glue on folders for handle material and bolsters that are non metal is awesome. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I have an idea for some canister Damascus. I'm looking for someone that has some experience and the time to do this for me. Obviously I will pay for this to be done. Thanks! Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk

I started with a 4*36 from harbor freight. It worked just fine. I think I spent like 60 bucks on it. Sent from my XT1565 using Tapatalk
