  1. Needing local blacksmith that can heat treat my knives

    Zantow posted a topic in Heat Treating Knives, Blades etc
    Hello. I am in the process of making some knives from 1095 and need someone who can heat treat them for me. I am using 1095. I tried a sample piece in a makeshift coal forge and it didn't turn out well. Some of the metal seemed to melt and after quenching in oil there were deep pitted areas all over. Also I went through the tempering process twice at 400 deg. for 1 hour each and after the second time I had some cracks in the knife edge. I am a beginner so I don't have many tools. Just a side cutter and 6" grinding wheel. I live in Chattanooga, TN so if anyone knows of someone close by that can give me a hand with this I would great appreciate it. Thank you.
