Link to a Fillet Knife Build.

After reading through a few things, and also evaluating what was done,......I decided to take a file to the blade and test it. Not surprising to some, the file easily removed material. I tested a spot on the spine and also where the blade meets the handle.

So,.....it is too soft.

I'm gonna keep it, for a short time, to test it.

But I'm also gonna make another.......hopefully, I'll have more success.

Hopefully you'll use some "known steel." Find something you can actually heat treat with a proven heat treat recipe. A small investment up front will mean alot more personal satisfaction for you in the end.
