Finally got my small forge and today cut a blank and tried my hand at heat treating. It's 1095 , only 1/8" thick so I'm hoping it's hard all the way through . The file skates right off. Next up, grinding and sanding!

Awesome! You will find very knowledgeable folks here who are willing to help. I unfortunately am not one of them. I mean I'm willing to help but don't know anything lol. Looks great!

Lol, thanks. Although I already have found many flaws, I'm still very happy with how it's turning out for my first try!

I'll have pics posted later this week with the finished project( hopefully ). I haven't had a free moment from my job to work on my knife, but it's all I think about 24/7, lol.

Waiting for epoxy to cure... So close to finished I can taste it!! If only we could add a few hours to each day, lol
