a carbide bit might do it or torch aneal the tang keep the blade in a bucket of water and heet the tang to cherry red and let air cool wile the blade is in the water it should soften the tang right up then a regular bit should do just fine

I want to make it clear to Ancientarms that I mean no offense. There products and prices seem good.
This question is directed to the experienced knife makers from a beginner. I am about ready to try finishing a pre-made damascus blade. Therefore inexpensive blades would be in order at my skill level. Ancientarms seems to have some blades of a style I'd like to work on. 1. Does anyone know anything about these blades and their quality? 2. They are hardened. I doubt I have anything to drill holes in them. Suggestions, please. 3. Does anyone recomend these blades or is there a in the US source of inexpensive damascus blades? |

Thanks, Bob & Dragon:
I spotted that post, too. Interesting. It seems that the blades are not sharpened. I am reluctant to try drilling them. The seller did offer to drill them, though. Sounds questionable? |
