Goods Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 For a hot cut I would heat treat it. It will work without the extra hardness, but you’ll spend less time sharpening it if you harden it. Keep it fun, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 That's good advice for any tool, even if you can get away with using an unhardened tool in the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
