Toxn Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Random question: would it be possible to knapp a brittle alloy? I had a half thought-out idea of quenching a high carbon steel, then shaping it by knapping before tempering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grindstones, whetstones, and sanding all remove material, just at a more controlled rate, with less chance for mistakes to ruin the entire product. I think it could be done, but you might break a couple knives (or whatever you have planned) and you would be the only one with experience doing such a thing.
