Heat treat Damascus Steel

[thundair]

Hi
I am a newbee here and have made a few knives with my limited CNC equipment, but this is the first Damascus steel Ive used and have no clue of what heatreat it would need before the final blade cuts.

Thanks in advance

I tried search but I may need pointers to find previous post

This will be moved over to Shop Talk soon but first figure out what the damascus is made of. Who made it?

That's the thing , you HT depending on what steels are used .There are certain combinations where the steels are HT'd about the same so that wouild make things easy.
