q for u more experienced guys...
i've got the 2 knives shaped and i've spent some time with them on the stone...how sharp can i expect non-treated steel to get? should i just get them "pretty sharp" and then do the funky trick with the stove and the oil? Or should i persevere until they will cut through diamonds and THEN heat treat them?
DanaM:
Just get them 90% sharp and then harden them, after you quench them check the hardness with a file. If you can barely remove
metal with a file they are hard. Then clean them up and temper in a 400 deg oven until straw yellow color. Do your final sharpening after the
knife is finished it saves on blood loss ;)

thx
