Ok....not much going on around here...just sitting around goofing off...anything new going on with any of you all?
lone_ranger:
the original stock flatbar is 1/8th inch thick. the blade is hammered down then filed to about 1/16th inch. would that be too thin to heat treat? heat treating my brother's knives in the past is basically, heat the blade to a dull red, let it cool down some, then immerse in mineral oil and move the blade around a bunch. So basically any advice you have would be a big improvement on this technique.
