Greeting from a Georgia Noobie & question
Hey I'm humbled by the great work everyone is turning out here. I recently watched a video on knife making and thought I'd join in the fun. My first project will starting from an old file. I want to keep the cost down as I make mistakes on the way.
I'm looking at making a simple tanto styled knife like the one in the picture. My question is: How do you get the steel black? Is it even possible without special equipment? If its too much to worry with I'll go for a polished steel look. Thanks for viewing this thread and wish me luck on my first of many knives. |
