Made my first knife

A lot of info on this site as well. Plenty of good steel out there for you to try.

Introduction to Knife Steel Heat Treating from a Metallurgist - Knife Steel Nerds

Heat treating is easy and I can prove it - I taught my seventh grader son how to do it. You can heat treat knives too!

Thanks for that! I had found some other resources online and have been kind of plugging through that. Seems like it would be nice if there was a list of steels in order of ease of use. Might be nice for a beginner (like me) to know where to start and how far you could go without needing to buy special equipment. I suppose I could always send the piece out to be heat treated (like if I wanted to make a magnacut) but I like to try and keep things 'in house' and cheap if I can.
