thunderforge777 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 thanks. i just heated up to nonmagnetic and oil quenched them to see if it would help. not sure if the carbon content in these are high enough. they hold their edge ok. people love them though. both of these are already sold and i got another guy that wants one.
