I did this fun and then it got serious! Lol. Any dangers to hardening this thing? It is either 01 or 1095. I would hate to ruin it when it will not really get used, but want it to be as complete as possible.

That will HT just fine, looks about same size as a folder blade. BUT - NOT assembled with handle. Bare blade only for HT'ing.

Yes. I meant taken apart. I actually ended up hardening and tempering for the heck of it. Survived just fine. I even dabbed oil on it when I tempered and created a cool pattern on it that stands up to sanding. She is all epoxied up now.
