i have been recieving advice and constructive critic over the weekend in regards to making a combat knife out of a file. so I want to pitch my understanding/idea to see if I have the concept down:
if I dont want to anneal first, I can cold stock removal shape the blade and then heat it to critical, quench it, then temper it?
or could I JUST temper it if i did not comprimise the hardening ?
thanks for having patience with me guys. I love you all.

I am making a combat knife, double edged, out of a Nicholson file. firstly, when I started knife making, this was the one I vowed to make perfectly one day to honor the person who got me into knife making, so I am very committed to it being the original design if possible. Whilst looking for advice about tempering it after cold stock removal working, someone pointed out a flaw in my idea. that flaw was the tang, I want to make a full-tang handle and have a diagonal cut white to black Garolite scales. but I acknowledge the rust prone nature of that design. how could I make the edges very rust resistant?

I looked on NCK for some cheap Micarta, but I found some stuff called Corian. is it a plastic, or a laminate , or a phenol? what is it, is it any good for a full tang?
