Hey, those are very nice. You give me some hope <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I am about to start trying to make knives and I know when i start I'll have some questions...I was going to ask you how you heat treat but it looks like someone is going to take care of that for you. Do you know if there are places that will do the HT for you if you send them your blades and $$$? I initially plan on buying and working with steel that has already been heat treated. But eventually, I'd like to start from the raw metal and go through the whole process.

All of your knives look great. Did you do your main profiling with the hack saw and files? Then use the belt grinder for the more detailed stuff? It looks to me like the hardest part of the process is getting the blade grind correct and even but I won't know until I get started in a couple weeks.

Please post pictures as you progress and of the finished product. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks.
