Hi.
I want to make some all-metal knives for working leather. I possess several inadequate leatherwork knives made out of O1 steel. I could anneal these and then shape them to meet my needs. Alternatively, I could buy some 1084 steel bar that is already annealed.
Being a novice, do you recommend that I reuse my O1 knives or that I buy a bar of 1084 steel?
Thanks.
Scott
