So what in the chemical make up of the steel dictates a range of temps that allow for correct hardening? Was it that the non magnetic temp is similar for the high carbon steels like O-1 and 1095; was it determined by trial and error at first?

Well, I am glad I saw this thread. It is something that can be discussed. I HT the poor mans way. There are some pros and cons to it but IT IS DOABLE. I even heat treat O-1 with a torch and get great results. However, I am planning on snagging an oven from USAKnifemaker Now having said...

I didn't know if it really mattered. I spoke with a maker a while back and I can't remember who it was but I was talking about clips/swedges with him. He said that do the swedge first and then the main bevel for two reasons. the first being that when you do the swedge first you have more...

My favorite part(s) are: 1) designing the blade and actually putting it on paper. 2) Seeing how the grinds turn out after pre-HT grind.

So I was wondering what you guys do for the tanto nose/tip grind. I have a knife design that has a swedge with a tanto nose/tip and then the main bevel. Should I grind the nose/tip and then the swedge and then the flat? Or should I grind the swedge, nose, and then the flat? I ask because I...

And after not figuring the multi quote thing out and reading the linked thread above, and only having a 2x42 craftsfman, I think the dremel with a 1/4" sanding drum or a 3/8" sanding drum would probably do it. Thanks guys! A file would work but that is a big time consuming project compared to...

This isn't a bad idea either, but the only thing would be that it would be like carving, and harder to make it all even and uniform compared to something that was like a file. Now, if I had some way of using a small wheel with a belt on it that would be the way to go, but I only have a 2x42...
