I'm wanting to make a couple of knives from old files just to begin the learning process of knife/razor making.
I plan on making a forge sometime in the future, but I'm still looking into that.
For now though I'd like some opinions on weather or not the burner in this picture would do the job for my first few very amateur knives.
I'd anneal the files before working on them, then re-harden and temper.
Do you guys think this kind of set-up would get the temps up high enough for what I need?
