Hi all,
I am wanting to try my hand at heat treating some 1095 for my folders. However, I am confused. I am trying to get a hamon and I understand how tedius that can be but.
My confusion is that I see all this stuff about normalizing first. Is this just if your forging the stock? I was just going to rough grind it and then heat treat it. So, what's the deal with normalizing?
Thanks in advance!
Jamie
