I've been researching a lot since I've joined. I've also had life issues that's kept me from working on the first knife.
I recently got some 1080 steel from Jantz. I've shaped it. I tried to drill out for the handles but the steel laughed at the bits. I can't get the holes drilled thru it.
I asked the people at Jantz if the steel was annealed. She said it was.
I'm not sure if there is a special type of drillbit...or something I need to do to get the holes drilled.
It's really crazy as I've seen millions of youtube videos of people drilling the holes out without any problems.
Any ideas?
