Hi all,
I have recently sparked an interest in making a knife. Just one, to start. I have been watching a ton of youtube videos by Walter Sorrels and a few others and reading the sticky posts in this forum, and feel like I dont need an elaborate shop to create the one I have sketched out.
I am thinking of using 1084 for this paring knife, due to its relative ease of HT and the fact that I wont have a proper forge or tempering specialized ovens to work with.
So far I have cut it out and glued it to a pc of cardboard, and will have to buy some steel and tools, and wood.
Very anxious to start it, and would welcome any tips for HT and normalizing without advanced equipment.
Thanks for looking
This is the sketch I mentioned.
