    HT in house or outsourced - preference?

    I started making knives in M390, S35VN, and Nitro V about 6 years ago. At age 74 now, I don't have time to waste learning to HT those Stainless Steels to bring out their best qualities, so I would rather let the pro's at Peters Heat Treat do it.

    Bent/Warped Nakiri? Thoughts?

    Blade Show West 2019

    I'm a custom knifemaker and kitchen knives are where the growth is for me. Fewer people are buying hunting and filet knives because fewer people, at least here in the West, are hunting and fishing.
