Which wrench?
I'm not sure where to post this, so I'll ask Ray.
I recently enjoyed pounding a knife out of an old JCPenny's combo wrench. The blade heat-treated like most oil-hardening tool-steels I've used. While I'm not known for forging knives, I find myself doing more and more of it as I continue to expand my skill set, so I think I'd like to do a few more wrench knives. The question: What brand of of modern wrenches which can be purchased at a local hardware store offers good tool steel in the oil-hardening family? Thanks! __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions." |
