That was my second thought. The 1095 was not hard though so either way I had to re-quench. That sucker is hard now though. I have cleaned it up AGAIN and am etching it now. Tomorrow’s billet will have 1084 core though.I think it will look better with 1084. 1084 has more manganese so should etch darker then 1095. That's just a thought though.
Thanks KevinI think it looks awesome, Chris!
