Hello

Hi Andy,
When you are tempering an item with differing thickness with a torch the safest way to work it is by just applying the flame to the thickest part. This can be tricky to get the heat to travel to the entire piece without over heating where you are applying the heat. If you are trying for straw color you should be able to reach that in the oven or even a small toaster oven if you aren't allowed in the kitchen :wack:.

Hi Blade
I'm a bit late with this but welcome to MadModder. I have been following some of your posts on the knives and it is real interesting how you can turn chunk of steel into works of art like you do. Thanks for showing them to us and I hope that you enjoy being a part of the forum. :D :D
Cheers :beer:

Helo NilocH,
The knives look familiar I have probably seen them on the knife forums. Nice work!

A grand for one knife :bugeye: :jaw: :bugeye:
I have spent £80 on my leatherman and close to that on some other purchases but a grand!!!!
Some quite nice to look at, but I'd be scared to use it!
I dare not ask how much yours are any more Eddie!
Just been re-reading all this.. Maybe some of it should be transferred to the how-to's section? there's a lot of useful info in there on hardening and tempering :thumbup:
I will one day have a go at all of this.... Just got to finish building my house, sell it, but another house with land or ready build workshop space and then kit it out and have a go! After finishing the 8/9 current projects off that is!!! ::)
Ralph.
