Don A Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 You need to search around and find Len Landrum's heat-treat specs for 52100. Just ask around the Knife Network Outpost. I've watched him demo his process at Bowie's hammer-in, and he certainly knows that steel very well. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Salvati Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Thanks Guys! Don, I was taught a very special heat treat technique, and i am curious to see how it works with 52100. Buzz, I SORT OF cheated, and refined the profil on the bench grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
