I have been using 1084 and 15n20, but I am considering switching to 1095 and 15n20. After a couple folds, wouldn't the carbon even out to about the eutoid point? Then there would be the difference in manganese. How would this effect the end product? And advice or opinions?

Any one have the contact info for the Uddeholm guy that was running around at the hammer-in on Saturday? He gave me card, but I can't find it now. Thanks Cody

I tried a couple blades of CFV with a 1475 with a 15 min soak and quench in parks. I had a RhC of 68 as quenched. After several rounds of tempering, I am still at 62-63 and last temp was 515 degrees. Each tempering was at least an hour in my evenheat. Just keep upping the temp?
