you might consider pretempered knife blanks if you can find the style  u like. youlll still have to put an edge and handle on them. Your guaranteed not to shatter on a cold morning with those.  its still a good looking knife . wtg

My Dad always used Powdered Lime and.... something else, to cool the blades after heating to that cherry glow.  :aok
