Thanked: 1185
1/8 is too thin. There is a formula around here for thickness to width. As I recall it is somewhere around 15 to 19 degrees angle on the bevel. You can do the math or search out the formula. ( In case I don't find it for you ) From my reading and being in the same boat as you I started with O1. I have some RSO's but have yet to finish enough to start heat treating. Which I may also have done by pro the first time. To anxious to have one of my own made and use it to mess up 6 blades learning to heat treat. Mike Blue is THE guy to listen too when it comes to steel. If I lived where you do I would probably be camped on his shop doorstep :<0)
Okay I found a place to start. I got 1/4 " stock and took it down to 3/16 for a 5/8 blade. Shooting from the hip is my style, checking for accuracy after.
