Currently I use a product called ATP-641 that is marketed by Brownell's as a preventative for decarburization when heat treating carbon steels. I use it on O1 and have good results. Talking to an old machinist yesterday he mentioned that they would use to rub a bar of Ivory soap all over the...

Got a commission to make a dagger. Never attempted one before. Something along the lines of a Applegate-Fairbairn or EK. 1) how difficult? 2) how to layout lines, dykem or sharpie? 3) how to get lines to converge symmetrically at tip? Thanks in advance for any help.
