I was shooting for 58-60. Actually 425 on the second two hour temper cycle. Yes, soak and ramp up. pm me and I will give you the exact figures. You forgot more than I will ever know about this stuff - stop kidding around!

The rockwell tester is a heat treating company in Ft Worth, minutes from my shop.

Thank you, I do have great equipment - now all I need are a few more brain cells.

Your temper should be around 450-475F to hit 58-60.... you still aren't reaching full hard. I'm only being picky because you have a KILN, man. You should be following those SIMPLE recipes and nailing it everytime! Tony is playing you for a fool. How are you ever going to beat me in the Neck Knife Challenge with less-than-perfect blades? Ha!

"450-475F to hit 58-60" Maybe in Canada but not in Texas - Coreolis effect, humidity, ambient air temps, geo magnetic variation and we are closer to the equator moving faster and its effect on time. Would you like some more "hype"?

ps I am not comfortable with your use of the term "full hard" - lol. Tony does his own thing and is beyond my span of control.

The numbers - temps,times etc... can be pulled off of a google search in seconds.

Contrary to popular belief, its incredibly simple.

The first one I clicked on said...

For a full quench, heat the blade slowly and evenly with a torch until a magnet will no longer be attracted to it. (around 1550F for O-1)

Simple to find info..... difficult to figure out if it's BS or not.
 
My bad... I forgot to account for your "cornholiolus defect".... your numbers must be right. Carry on.:D:thumbup:
 
Rick,

I just read the remainder of your post "How am I going to beat you...". Simple of course: My social skills have endeared me to many influential people on this forum. Some of those people will be judges at the challenge.
