Blanks

[Gliden07]

I bought some 7CR17mov SS blanks that are close to finish ground. Does anyone have a recipe to harden this stuff? So far online they compare it a lot to 440A.But the internet being the internet there are some other opinions. I trust you guys way more. So if you know please let me know. THANKS!!

Just curious, why did you buy that alloy of steel?

There semi finished blanks, not heat treated. The blanks were only $2.99 each! Couldn't buy the steel to make them for that! They actually look pretty good. I plan on grinding the handles differently to make them my own. Need to get heat treat though
