Hey Rob! I am a member of the ABS. But the way I see it is that we are all knifemakers with no difference in stock removal and forging. You will have those who say , This is better than that. But I dont buy into that way of thinking. When I forge a blade, I then remove stock from it. People ask...

I do a lot of heat treating. For myself and alot of the Dogs. Dont know exactly how clean you are wanting your steel to come out. I grind to a 220 grit finish, and start back with a 400 grit and on down from there. and you were not clear on the 1080 blade. Dont put it in foil, oil quench it. Any...

I am humbled and BLESSED!!!

1/4" is what you want. 5/32 in my opinion is too thin for a knife that size. When I do one for chopping, it's 5160 or o1. And edge quenched.

Hey Kim! Gotta say that you are right on. When you tested my knife for blade, I tested it first! Thats not to say it wasn't stressful waiting to see how it came out! But I used that model alot and knew it didnt give me any hot spots. So I was comfortable selling it to people. Gotta go grind...

Looks great! Love the mount for the fire steel!
