From what I gathered, you get it to red-hot and allow it to cool on its own, without quenching.

Great to discover fellow knife lovers. I've been lurking on this forum for some time now after a new-found enthusiasm for making knives.

Here are a couple of knives I made.

1) eight and half inch blade made from an old file:

Below is a closer look at the blade - the grind is mildly hollow. It was my first attempt at hollow grind and it shows in the rather amateurish "drop" at the ricasso. I completely messed it up :) I wanted to grind off the drop completely but decided to keep it as a souvenir of one's journey.

The tip:

I haven't made a sheath for this knife.

2) a more recent effort - a four and half inch double edged dagger. Made from a one inch chisel which I never got around to using. Since one surface of the chisel was already bevelled, I thought this was a good starting point for a small "diamond profile" double edged dagger.

I have a few more pics of other (mainly smaller) knives I made. Will post later.

In the meantime, here's a pic of work-in-progress five inch bushcraft:

May we know what method did you use to grind your bevels? Thank you.
