Thanks for the video.... made me realize what kinda prep it would take to try and make a buckmaster 185.... I probably should just buy one.

I wish I had the answer to that one !!!!

What are your opinions on using 420ss, or 17-4, or I have access to 4140 pre hardened and d2, I work in a tool room so I have access to a wire edm and milling machines. So as you guessed i wouldn’t be a real knife maker but I just want to make a small 4-5” small game skinning knife like the benchmade flyway. Thought about also using some spring steel so it would almost be like a boning knife.

Nice

Unfortunately you have to have very accurate time and temp control when heat treating stainless steel. Forge will ket up to temp but you really need a heat treating oven or to send blank out for heat treating

@@DIYeasycrafts Yeah its the " Soak " time, I have a Thermal Drone to tell temp. What if you could temper @ 300* would that compensate for the lower heat treat?

@@robertkoontz7865 I have never even attempted to heat treat stainless in a forge so can not give you an honest answer. Tempering is going to slightly reduce hardness. I would check hardness after hardening and adjust temper based on results. If your going to attempt it try inserting the blank into a piece of steel square stock. You should still get up to temperature but it will distribute the heat a little more uniformly.

Very nice 9" how do I find out about buying one

What angle do you set the tilt table Mr Berg?

@DIYeasycrafts

It really depends on the thickness of the blank and how wide you want the bevel to be. I use a scrap pc of wood scribed to correct thickness and adjust table angle until desired bevel with is achieved.

You are not really making a knife. You are assembling a model. Forge a knife, you will respect yourself in the morning. Forge On!!!

I use the stock removal method. I choose this over the forge because it allows me to use Stainless Steel rather than high carbon steel. End results is a knife that can be used daily and not rust. Both methods are really knife making and both have pros and cons.
