Shank's shanks Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I'm just making my first differentially hardened knife and I have 0 idea if it needs to be tempered can someone tell if it does or not and if yes then how long and how hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Welcome to IFI! If you haven't yet, please READ THIS FIRST!!! As for your question, the simple answer is YES. Without knowing any more about the steel you've used, how you've heat treated it so far, etc, it's impossible to say more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Yes, no, or maybe; depending on information you haven't provided---like alloy, intended use, how you deferentially hardened it, size, thickness, shape.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
