Recently I read that in order to drill a hole (ie spyderco style) in a hardened blade, it is best to blowtorch the area to remove the temper. (Hope I used that word right)
If someone were to take this process one step further - Would it be possible to differentially untemper a blade in this manner to get extra strength?
If this is possible, Why hasn't it been done before?
and make sure I get the credit....
thanks.
