First off im a newbie to the whole knifemaking thing, but have been in the welding/welding sup. bus. for 21 years, so im not a complete idiot on metalworking and such.
BUT this subject was on a camping/survival page, and I am kind of puzzled.
The gist of the comment was "do you switch to stainless blades in cold weather, because carbon blades have a tendency to reverse temper in cold temps under 30 deg."
I am just baffled as I have never ever heard of a knife losing its temper or becoming harder because its too cold.
just curious if this has any truth to it, and if so, why/how does this exactly happen.
