I just found this thread. So to clarify to those watching... We as the contestants did the heat treating ourselves, on the show, during the taping, but even though the tempering process was not shown, J.Neilson did the tempering for everyone after hours. So, were they tempered, yes they were. Hope that answered the question.

This was the last knife I made for the 2014 year. This is a special piece because it is the first that I made using a handle material that I have long thought of, and finally made. This is a natural material that I resin treated, and then stabilized. This piece has a 96 layer, random pattern Damascus blade, Heat colored 304 stainless fittings, and stabilized horse manure, or Pasturewood handle. Yes, I said horse manure. -
I love the Brut-De-Forge style knife. I have made a few of these over the years, and here is a recent one. Inspired by Joe Keeslar, this is a Brut-De-Forge, forged from a Nicholson farriers rasp. Blade length is 5 1/2" and is 10 1/2" O.A.L. The scales are Walnut and are inlayed with sterling silver. Bolsters are 304 Stainless. -
Forged 5160 Utility. 4 1/2" blade, 9 1/2" overall length. This knife has stabilized Koa scales, and heat colored 304 stainless bolsters. -
September 2014 marked my 18th year in knifemaking. To celebrate I made something not from the normal. This is a Damascus "Steampunk" The handle has on both sides, fully functional gears. This was a great challenge, and super fun to make. -
