BIG 5 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I made a knife out of 01 tool steel and tempered it myself. It was OK but not as good as a quality stainless steel bought knife. It does the job but just look after the blade as in watch for rust and keep sharp. Good fun to make though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham M Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Made this one a couple of months ago. The difficult bit was getting the temperature right when hardening and tempering. Came out OK though. G.M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
