Magnacut Question - equalizing soak or not?

[Heikki]

I got a response from Larrin. He said, quite simply, that he sees equalization as an optional step for home heat treating of knives, and that Magnacut is no exception.

There you go. Straight from the PhD metallurgist who designed the steel and wrote the engineering book on modern knife steels. No need to take my word for it.

Thanks for the update!

Good to hear. I thought I was going to have to go snap a blade in two and look at the grain structure...ha ha. By the way I'm getting 63 - 64 HRC on my Magnacut at a 325-degree temper 2x2

Thank you for doing this. “Oh! What a relief it is”!

Any old timers recognize that saying?
