Im sick to my stomach---
spent several days bangin out a leaf spring into a really cook looking knife---i wish i could post a picture of it but dont know how---anyways, I went through the heat treat, got it past magnetic putit back in for a bit longer--quenched in canola, then tempered it twice at 350--2 hours---
put a handle on it --tried to sharpen it==on a 1x30 then 2x42 ---the blade is shaped like a kukri--which is why i used my 1x30
still no edge---banged on my anvil (mad by this point),,,handle broke off but no damage to steel--holy cow--
figured it was too hard, ground the handle off===threw ir back in the oven at 350---tried sharpening again===banged it again on anvil---the knife put adivot into my farriers anvil---my GOODNESS
IDEAS please
