  1. I gave another quick etch to the letter opener after heat treat.Still have a way to go.
  2. The romans used iron for their spears so using mild steel would be pretty close.Mabey case harden the edges.
  3. It might be 52100,but it might not be.Thats the bad part of working with unknown steels.Bring it up to critical and quench in a thin oil.If you dont have real heat treating oils then a veggy will work.Pre-heat the oil to around 100 F .Temper in your oven at 375f to 400f for an hour.Let it cool and check the edge for brittleness.If its chippy ,put it back in for another hour at 400f.Continue this untill you get what you want for an edge.
  4. Heres a new billet of 1095 and 15n20.188 layers.Still ugly and has to be ground free of scale.
  5. This 275 layer 1095/15n20 hunter is going to my brother this week.
