Since I started making knives around 6-7 years ago, I have relied on sending my knives out to heat-treating companies for the hardening of the blades. However, recently I got an Evenheat kiln so that I can take the blade hardening process into my own hands! Being able to heat treat my knives myself is going to open up a lot of opportunities for cool projects in the future. I wanted to document the first knife I ever heat treated myself and share the result with you all! In this video, you can see how I heat treated an EDC Butcher and then finished it off with a really cool cholla cactus and teal resin handle. I also gave the blade an acid washed bevel and satin flats finish that I think ties the whole piece together. Let me know what you think!
