I want to try 3Va also...or some other decent stainless.
O-1 literally rusts while I'm grinding it.
What are you making out of it? I am working with my first shipment of 1095 right now, once I get the hang of heat treating this stuff I want to move on to either 3V or 154cm.
Post some pics and info as you grind
How hard are they to sharpen?
do you have any pics?

Knifemaker finace 101. Make knife. Spend more on parts, pieces, tool, and misc to have BOUGHT a similiar (and probly nicer!) knife from someone else. Be sad. Do it again. Be less sad. Sell stuff to make more, better. Be sad again. Sell knives at a loss, but actually be happy about it! Watch people gasp when someone asks how much a knife costs. Do mental math and reassure yourself that your time really should be free.... And that losing money is better than..... Making money.
