Decided to go with a template that Dan provided with some modifications. AEB-L steel. Still undecided on the handle. Second attempt at heat treating this steel. First time not so good results. This time went really well and I got the result that I wanted.
Should clarify my previous comment. The first time I heat treated aeb-l it was a different knife and it did not come out as well as I wanted. This knife came out very hard...file skated across it. Tempered twice at 300 for two hrs each time. Trying to figure out what I'm going to do for grinding...thinking I might try a flat grind but have never done it before. Any thoughts guys?
