Like it says anyone making their own blades?
I've got experience shaping and working steel, made a few chisels. Any recommended or preferred steels?

I've tried it once or twice... 154 is the choice for stainless.

Sir,

there are quite a few that do professionally here, some guys like me buy blanks and apply handles as a hobby, others like D& T & Rick Menefee make a living at it and go as far as the blacksmithing level. Read and enjoy!
