Drawing out M390? - 03/15/21 02:54 PM
Mike C and I have communicated about this a bit. Neither one of us know if it is alright to put M390 in the forge and shape on the anvil. I've been carrying this steel as a pocket knife for two years and I love it! Having a Wicked Edge I can get it sharp. It's hard and it's tough, so it works for me. I want some kitchen knives out of it. Mike told me the size of the bars that are available, and they're not condusive for certain kitchen knives. If I could shape them hot, I could get them to the right profile and thickness. Then grind and take them to Mike to run through heat treat. The question is, can this be done or will it mess up the properties of the M390, what say you experts?
