Ken Lutes Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Sounds good. I will be watching for it. I made over 100 knives in the years past. My job took me away form it. I now have retired and I am getting back to the things that I love to do. After reading same articles here on heat treating there seems to be some changes in the accepted methods,process and material. I almost feel like I am having to learn all over again. My main interest and focus was and will be 18th century hand forged knives. I guess it carries over from interest in muzzleloadig. I feel I have made the circle I started out learning the removal process and then switch to forging. I sold the furnace , grinders, etc. I much prefer forging processes. In feel you have more control and broader range of possibilities that you can do. I know that is my opinion only which doesn't carry much weight. Looking forward to the new journey and learning from all of you and your vast experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
