I have a few knives under my belt now, having done enough to have some questions. I have been working 1095 and 01 and doing my own heat treat in a gas forge. I want to start making some fillet knives 6"-9" blades. Since it will be saltwater and at the end of a long day I'm thinking stainless but carbon is not out of the question. My concern is heat treating 1/16 or 3/32 steel and any tendency to warp. Will the carbon steel have problems? I don't have much temerature control so I would send out the stainless for heat treat so I also wonder where to send them, any favorites? Any help would be appreciated.
