Hey my dudes super new to the whole world of knife making and just curious as to a few things. So after making a few practice blades from mild steel I'm finally confident in my ability to making my first blade from some higher quality steel. So I went to my normal steel supplier and picked up some 01 tool steel. (Might I add at a h*cking good price) Only thing is it's already hardened and I don't feel like annealing anything quite yet unless I have to. So my question is is this steel even workable in a hardened state? I don't believe it's tempered so I'll have to do that at the very least. Thank y'all for your time and answers
