Thank you for the information! The reason I asked is because I have it handy and figured I would give it a shot. I was unaware of the two's different techniques of hardening. I was just looking to try something I couldn't find any information on. My grandfather was a black Smith/ heavy equipment mechanic but passed before I could learn any smithing from him. But knowing this new information I believe I will go a different route. I'm basically wanting to make kitchen knives for friends and family that are extremely durable and keep an edge longer that the junk you basically get from stores without going in to dept for. That and I'm tired of everyone constantly bringing their knives to me to be sharpened all the time lol.
