Title: Knife making for Dummies (Stupid Questions)
Post by: Hillbilly81 on February 07, 2009, 12:39:00 PM

Being new to the whole knife making scene and reading several post in this forum I find myself confused by the terminology.  Could someone explain the quench, draw back and any other necessary vocabulary that goes into knife making?  Also are saw mill blades and leaf spring steel valuable resources for knife making?  Thank you for any feedback and I am looking forward to starting my own project knife soon.    :knothead:

Thanks for the info.  I believe y'all have started something here as I find myself constantly glued to the screen and reading wanting to make my own knives.
