any other suggestions for steel types and methods?

Bill

Hello
I have recently found this site and am very impressed. I have played around with different salvage steels (files, springs, etc.) but never felt like I got my efforts worth.

I was curious if yall could help me select one steel and the methods used to make a knife with it. I would like a steel I can make large and small knives with.

I have a small coal forge that works fairley well. It would be helpful if you could specify quenching solutions, tempertures, times etc.

Thank You,
