Thermal cycling works good, I do it every time I make a new knife.

I have heard that if you get a coil spring from a car and heat up to red hot, you can uncoil it and you have great metal for knives and such. Is this true? because I have tons of this stuff all over.

That helped ALOT! Thanks a million!

Thanks! that helped a lot! I saw your video on youtube about forge welding that branch. Great stuff.

I'm really confused about how to scarf in order to forge weld. I'm working on a prodject to make a stove poker. I will get my hands on a pic. of it here pretty soon.

I'll take a look at that blueprint, thanks. ---------- Get it hot, hit it hard!

Nice knife! I really like the handle.

Pretty cool knife!

I think I got it. But I'm going to quench it in oil just to see if it will harden a bit more. You never know!

So I am making my first knife, it is made out of a old railroad spike. I have the blade hammered out pretty well. I twisted the handle as well, but the problem I have ran into in the past is failing to heat treat it right. Is there a way to do this that is somewhat easy to pick up? I tried to get a picture up but something went wrong so it's sort of a bummer. -SRT
