Sharpening and Care / Sharper on one side
« Last post by scottydawg on February 16, 2017, 04:12:18 am »
Let me start by saying that I am a newbie. Now that being established, As I sharpened, I noticed that one side felt sharper even though I was sharpening both sides of the knife. Riddle me this... If it feels sharper from the left, does that mean I should actually work the right side of the blade to even it out or visa versa?

Metallurgy / Heat treating characteristics
« Last post by scottydawg on February 16, 2017, 04:07:50 am »
I want to start making knives and was wondering... What metal/s are easiest to heat treat but will not break the bank? I have heard that they all have different methods required, so can someone give me a quick education on this?

Also, can this be done on a budget or will I have to spend loads on materials?

Folders / Making folders
« Last post by scottydawg on February 16, 2017, 04:00:11 am »
Anybody ever built folders? I am thinking of building folders, but am wondering where's the best place to get started? I did a kit knife to see how the parts interact and to get experience with building handles, but beyond that, I am not sure. Liner lock, button lock, axis lock, lock back, friction??? Or should I just do fixed blades for a while until I get confident?

Knifekits.com supersquirt 2.0
I assembled it, converted it to auto and fabricated the handle scales from a piece of walnut I had lying around. I have about $70 into it buying tools and everything.
