Hello all, I am new to knife making but I have always noticed that 1095 will blister during the quenching process. I am curious as to why. Several other carbon steels and that I have worked with do not.
I am careful not to overheat and my quenching media is an olive oil preheated to about 100 F. Any insight into this would be much appreciated. I have learned more from a ten minute stroll through this forum than I have in the last year on my own. You guys are a cornucopia for a budding knifemaker. Thanks all!
