You forgot to ask about the grinder.........

 

[Burchtree]

home depot has the best steel -- go there.


I can't say much -- I asked the same questions when I started out.

 

[tmickley]

You are right Mike, lets not forget our favorite!
Has anyone used a Grizzly grinder for making knives? Should I get one?

1. "I want to make a knife, Where do I start"?
2. "Can I make a knife out of a lawn mower blade"?
3. "How do you heat treat a blade to 58-60 hardness"?
4. "I have a spring from a 1932 Mercury, will it make a knife"?
5. "Has anyone ever heard of a guy named Tracey Mickley"?'

You guys are being ugly while "Masta Mark" is away. Hell, I just asked those 5 questions last week and Indian George gave me answers to all (except number 5....... He said he never heard of the guy)

Have a good weekend............
