questions about steels

thanks Laurence

i think i need to ask about all the details they have in their HT workshop!
 
Hey im placing an order for steel from bohler, or to be exact will check to see how much they would bleed me for what i want to order

I plan on going for the N690, N695(440C) for stainless (altho when i checked their structure difference are minimal, maybe you guys would understand better if you checked the pdf (link in the first post)

And K110(D2) 460(O1)(working with for the mean time and have a supply to last me a bit) for carbon steel.

@The guy keeps telling me to get K100(D3) but i dont think thats good, at least for now


Any suggestions on whats a good amount to 'try' a steel?

i plan on getting steel that ends up about 4.5-5mm thick(they dont sell them surface ground), will buy 4cm width, what remains is length,
so far the largest knife i worked on (not including leaf springs) is 24cm, smallest is 14cm, generally whats a good no. of knives to test a steel? (i know i asked the question wrong, but i think you get it, been doing lots of stupid mistakes lately and would love to decrease that, specially since mistakes are never cheap)


thanks
 
Laurence, if you readcthe last post you'll find their equivelant of 440C

also the profiled blades didnt go through customs...

Go for the 440C equivalent and buy Bar stock steel in the smallest withs you can make your knives with, Also the knives will work fine without the Cryo if you can't get that done locally?

thanks, im buying 4cm wide, which is pretty good, i ranged from 3 to 5 so far but most common are 4 and 3.5

yeah i wanna ask the guy about the steps, but will be hell understanding them in arabic let alone translatong them to you guys!
 
1" is aprox 2.5cm

4 cm is 1.57"

i was going for that since so far all i do is hunting, utility and compact knives.

or you meant buy wider ones (say 8cm) for example to have more flexibility in shapes?

the O1s i have now are 2.5" so i can work with these for larger(wider) blades

thanks Laurence
