Arley,

What kind of steel are you using in your non Damascus blades?
I am just getting into knife making. First one was 440C. I can easily get it hot enough
to harden but don't have access to liquid nitrogen. Made due with dry ice and acetone, though it didn't get it as hard as it could have been. Did a post treatment at 350 instead of 400 due to this. Wish I had a decent digi cam!

Next project will be another steel. D2? O1? S30V? What do you recommend for doing
an oil quench?

Chris
