November 4, 20178 yr There are threads dedicated to answering that question: https://www.iforgeiron.com/topic/22426-new-knife-maker/ https://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/143-knife-making-classes/
November 5, 20178 yr Author Read a lot online about working with 1095, which seems to be what many Nicholson files are made from. Ended up doing a three cycle normalization, then quenched the blade in heated canola oil, and then a 2 hour temper at 400 degrees. Sharpened up beautifully and careful sanding highlights the pattern nicely.
