We've all seen cool forged knives where some of the forging marks and scale is left on. I was just wondering if I did a similar project by stock-removal and left some of the mill scale showing, would that pose any problems during HT? Will it be an issue later in terms of corrosion resistance? Will the HT'ed mill scale be brittle or durable?
What I'm thinking is a simple-as-possible yet high-quality camp knife in CPM-D2 or CPM-3V with a very basic satin finish. The idea is to keep labor costs to a minimum yet still use high-performance steel. Peters' does all my HT at this time.
