There are many here that will be able to answer a lot of your questions. I like to use Aldo 1084 because
you don't need a fancy set up to make a good HT and is a very forgiving steel. Many knifemaker's send
their blades to professional HT'rs. I send all my stainless to Peter's and have never had any issues.
I am able to do the rest and not have that big expense.
(Shameless Plug) Hopefully Ray will be chiming in soon. He has a couple of DVD's on "All about making knives"
They are step-by-step on EVERYTHING you need to know about making a knife, sheath, and HTing.
Good Luck, Have FUN, and stay sharp!!
