Good info; thank you.

Made my first knife in1993. Made my wife a kitchen knife out of a saw blade; apple wood handle. She still uses it all the time. I made me a coal forge from a trailer brake drum, exhaust pipe from an old Ford, and a hair dryer for the blower. Works great for my little operation. I make all kinds of blades for family an friends. Thank you for the info and for the warm welcome.

I use peanut oil on all my blades. Works great and smells good too. I also use old motor oil to quench all of my non-blade projects.....(hooks, tools..etc....)
