Concrete cutting saw blades for knives

Hi

I'm new to the forum, but I've been making knives for about 30 years here in Hawaii. I was taught by Tom Mayo and helped by Vince Evans and Ken Onion on tempering and handle design.

I've been making knives and machetes from concrete cutting steel for about 20 years, ever since I got a consistent supply. I differentially heat treat all of my blades and aside from the occasional warped or cracked blade (probably 1 in 30) I have never experienced any problems, it's my favorite steel. I was going to send some pictures, but couldn't figure our how to get them on the site, assistance would be appreciated.
