Hi guys
Well i am getting ready to do a run of a bunch of 1095 knives of the same make and my normal procedure is to clay quench them but I was wondering if it would be possible to edge quench them instead ? i figured this would be a little less time consuming and give a little more predictable results. My normal edge quench procedure i have done is to set my limiter block to the desired depth, then submerge the tip of the blade for around 5-7 seconds and then roll the rest of the blade down into the quench until hand cool
anyone know if will work with 1095 or does the steels need for a fast quench make edge quenching non viable ??
thanks
steve
