homeshow Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I really like it. What may I ask is your system for heat treat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comadreja Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Glad that you like. To do the heat treatment, I put an iron pipe in the forge. When the tube is hot, put the blade inside. I check the temperature with a magnet, and when reached the antimagnetic point , wait a minute, and Immediately dip the blade into vegetable oil used, approximately 50 ° C. I check the hardness with a file. When the blade is cold, I do three tempered in an electric furnace at 200 ° CI hope you understand, it takes longer to translate the text than to make the knife :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
