OK next question from the pain in the ass new guy. I have been reading studying and digging for several months into Knife making and , have started getting equipment together, looking at Feb or March starting. I want to go for nice high end knifes not just the plain old average run of the mill blade. I have looked at carbon steel, stainless heat treating tempering and, forging. So question is which is the ultimate best method. Saw a video where a guy uses a sledge to drive his knife thru a steel cable and, it retains the edge, this is what I am going for. I know it wont be easy and there is a whole world of mistakes to be made but, I will keep trudging on till I get it. My momma used to saw if it keeps you out of the pool halls it can't be bad Thanks
PS what do ya'll recommend for types of steel to make good strong knifes out of
