A couple new knives

[ALW]

RGK,
    Do the table saw blades really need to be hardened and tempered?  Are they hard enough to hold a good edge without the heat treating process?  Just wondering.  I have several of the 10" table saw blades and was hoping they would be hard enough to use without the tempering process.  Thanks.

I think they would be hard enough without heat treating

What do you guys use to drill the holes in the blades ? I've tried all kinds of bits on Old hickory knife blades and I can't get thru ? Any suggestions ? Thanks, Josh

Is there a particular type of saw blade ya use?

[RGK]

Yes, ones without carbide teeth. This way the base metal is as good as the tooth metal. These are also easier to come by.

josh are the stainless?
