    I love this so much. The idea of needing to anneal small amounts of metals on a regular enough basis that it’s worth getting a toaster oven to pull double duty is so foreign to me. However knowing that there are people out there for whom that can be a genuine factor when deciding whether or not to buy a toaster oven, fills me with glee.

      I make knives so it’s the best thing for it. Small footprint, ease of use, and not a huge energy drain.

      Though, I don’t cook food in the one I use for knives.

        You should make burgers in that thing and sell them as healthy because of the “extra iron content” "

          Mostly “bushcraft” knives. So they are fixed blade and full tang. Nothing special.

          I honestly end up modifying knives I’ve gotten a hold of more than anything. Have one of those Ferrari chef knives I’ve modified for my own personal use.
