Hello All - After a long hiatus I would like to make some more leather tools. I’ve recently been using blades made from Aogami Blue and they put the blades that I’ve made from O1 to shame. They are much harder and holds an keen edge.
I’m considering A2 for the next round of knives. By the book, it looks like a fairly easy steel to air harden but would like to get some real world input. Additionally, what other steels should I be considering to maximize hardness.
I’ve recently purchased a small used muffle furnace that can sustain 2012f. I’m excited to use it during the hardening process.
Thanks as always
