Hey guys, I'm finally going to get out there and forge a few knives (attempt it at least). I have some mild steel to play around with so I can get my shapes right, but after that I want to use something good that will harden up and also be semi-corrosion-resistant. (Not full stainless in other words)
The kinfe is going to be a small EDC type, 3" blade, I will be forging it.
So my question is what would you recommend as a forgiving steel that is a bit more corrosion resistant than the average carbon steel?
thanks a lot, hope to post some pics in the coming weeks.
