I want to start working on some tactical knives. They will be straight knives with a full tang, and likely have something like micarta for the handle scales. I was wondering what steel is most popular.
Also, I notice a lot of these knives are coated black. I'm sure some of them are some sort of phosphate, but I also saw where Cerakote was being used. What is a popular choice for a good hard coating on these types of blades?
One last thing..These will most likely have kydex sheaths or nylon type sheaths. Any info on some good kydex tutorials? I have never messed with that stuff, so I think I will learn.
Thanks.
