Just wanted to get some thoughts from the guys who do their own heat treating, did you buy an oven, or build one? I'm on a couple of other forums and the universal answer seems to be 'why buy, just build your own!'. I'd rather not, but I'd like to hear what you did and why you went that route. A lot of my hesitation comes from A: not having any clue about electrics, and B: a lot of these guys work on hunting knives that seem to use much more forgiving steels when it comes to heat treat, and some of them simply use a forge and eyeball the colour of the steel. I'd like to get some input on kitchen knives.
Thanks in advance!
