thanks but no way is to for spiting wood with this axe.
This axe in question is more of a chopping axe. For the cutting of wood against the grain.
If I ruined the temper handle can be burned out...

I wanted to make arrow heads out of bear bottle caps and my dads tells me the steel much too thin to be heat treated. So when folks makes straights they heat treat then hollow grind the edges.
Ben...

My fire place is capable of getting steel to get that yellow color to it.
one time I used it burn off the old handle of a old axe.
It made the steel get that yellow color to it.
then I was worried...

should one put clay on the spots that you wish for the steel to stay soft.

Can you ever ever heat treat the by heating them up with a blow torch.
Then once ya get that yellow color dip it used oil or is cold water better cause it cools it faster.
but I kind of thing used...

If I bought a lot like that I would just put scales on them hone them up and shave with them.
I personally like the aging marks on blades it highly prevents rusting from happening.
Some people soak...
