Serious question, how many of you still use a coal forge for blades?
I used to run a coal forge for everything, even my kitchen knives, because my old mentor in Flagstaff swore by the control. That changed after a custom order for a chef's knife went sideways last year because of a hidden flaw from the fuel. I switched to a propane forge from Majestic and haven't looked back, the heat is just so much cleaner and even. Anyone else make that switch and find it solved more problems than they expected?
