Ok, thanks for the info, I was just talking about personal use not selling anything to anyone. 

Hi folks, 

I know that 1080 and 1095 are able to be hardened and tempered at home without a fancy setup. I've done that with just the charcoal forge and the toaster oven, is there any stainless steels that can be similarly heat treated at home without a special kiln for tempering? Oddly enough I've got a pretty bad metal allergy and I instantly rust normal carbon steel knives i've made or owned. 

Thanks,

Corey
