Anyone H-T stainless 21"+

[J. Neilson]

A freind has a project of 440C long knives. I normally do 440C in my shop but these suckers are too big for my forge. Know any place that can handle it.
(no wise cracks George!)

I don't know if you are considering a commercial heat treater, but Paul Bos can do them with no problem.

Mine is 18 inches deep. Besides I'd warp it for sure.

J. Now would I say a word??? On the forge we made add fire brick long enough for the blade, then make a quenching receptacle out of 2" angle line with flat stock welded on the ends long enough for leg too.

with all that relish IG eats i think you could to the heat treat if you ... ahh well nevermind

 

[indian george]

Hmmm!!! I read this somewhere. To quench blade heat to non-magnetic and put through young apprentice's stomach.

 

[Michael J. Spangler]

i think that would cause a lot of warpage

 

[indian george]

Then I may have to go through at a lower angle and upward.

 

[Michael J. Spangler]

naaa i think the triple quench with oil will work better on the stainless, apprentices are only good on japanese pattern welded blades

[indian george]

Guess what I made today???? From the people of the rising sun.
