Yes, I was certainly frustrated. There was an automatic $100 insurance, that I am in the process of filing for. Wonder how long that will take. The neighbor across the street sent me a Christmas card, I got it in March. I have started to make two more blades, good thing I had a little bit of 440C left. I will have to find another heat treat facility. I can’t do myself as I don’t have an oven to hold the temperature. If I had used some of the other knife steels I could have heat treated them myself. However I gave up on them in favor of the rust resistance of 440C stainless.
