Basically I am new to all this and have no money for an electric kiln but I want to sell knives. The problem is that in Scotland you need a license to sell any knife that is not for food prep or eating. The logical thing to do is start with kitchen knives but they need to be stainless. I don't know much about heat treating the stuff, 440C is what I can get, I just know it is bloody difficult. The question is can it be done in a propane forge and still produce a good blade? I have this funny problem where I refuse to let anyone else do the stuff for me and so it needs to be doable at home. How would I go about getting good stainless blades for kitchen knives without spending too many pink notes? Thanks guys.
