Sup lads? So I'm going to make my first knife and I would

Why would you ask this kind of a question here?

The majority of knife posters on this board neither use nor sharpen their knives, much less knowing the slightest thing about metallurgy or knife making.

Go ask on HypeFreeBlades and the makers sections of BladeForums if you want any useful advice.

Then you should definitely use s110v! Or maybe M390, I heard that was good! :^)

Spring steel is best steel.

Mate those forums are circlejerk and I don't even have accounts there. Plus there's a few knowledgeable anons here, if anyone helps good, if not then nothing of valor was lost anyways.

>m390
I wish since I love it but I'm already fucked to work with a simple steel much less with one that would require experience that I don't have.

Dude, you should use 10v! It has badass edge retention!

>HURR DURR I don't want to go ask on forums where there are people with masses of experience in making knives and heat treating cutlery steels.

Okay.

so, you're saying that a forum where people who know the subject inside out and agree with other people who also know their shit, and call out and strongly disagree with chucklefucks who have no clue what they're doing is a "circlejerk".

and its too much effort to click "register" and create an account that will take all of 30 seconds?

Hrm. In that case, I strongly recommend you use rebar, a RR spike (make sure it has "HC" on the head) and a lawnmower blade.

Because you're clearly a fucktard who's not going to learn anything if told anything worthwhile, so you might as well waste scrap.

/diy/ usually has a knife making thread up, try there

This is gonna sound weird, but you should actually consider posting this on /tg/. I know there's a few guys on there who do smithing work that have threads occasionally, you might get lucky
