Chris Waldon Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I've made a few knives out of RR Spikes (I'll get pics ASAP) and I was wondering if It's worth my time to temper them. I normalized them after forging and before grinding but that's all. Feedback Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well if you are not hardening them then they do not need to be tempered. If you do harden them then a mild temper should help it's strength Heat Treat for a blade usually goes Normalize, Harden, Temper I have the feeling you are trying to use the term temper for two of the steps and not just the third.
