    Not so much for knife making but I have a DIY furnace for melting/casting. Rammed DIY castable refractory and a waste-motor-oil burner. Cheap to build and to burn. Not too particular on temp...

    The only negative with O1 is that it is a hypereutectoid steel (carbon >0.8%), which means that to get the most out of it, you need to be able to soak it at a stable temperature of 800-820 deg C for...
