TY, for the info. First off mostly 52100 ( 0.98-0.105 ish ) and some thin D2 (0.98 -0.113 or so ) is what I'm looking at trying to anneal. But i came across some of the thicker AEB ( 0.113-0.125 or so ), which is what I'm really aiming for. And as a redirect to Mr Laurence, with your technique...

Ok, here goes ( I really hope this makes sense ) - so I have quite a few one off blade designs that might or might not have made it to full up knives. Also full up knives that i am not happy with that represent good amount of "wasted" steel. Is it possible to "break" the Heat treat and revert...

thanks fro all the good info guys I appreciate it. On a redirect to Mr. Brackett. You use a bench style polisher and stick media to polish your laminate handles ? and - why the final coat ? isn't laminate water / weather proof ? thanks again.
