How thin shoud I make CPM154 before HT?

[alexmin]

I am on my first folder blade. While grinding I kind of overground it and edge is 0.01" thick right now and I wonder if it's too thin for HTing.

Any advise is appreciated.

Thanks,
Alex

if you think it is too thin just barely touch the edge to the grinder to bring it back to .030 or so. I dunno if .010 is too thin, I send my blades with the edge @ .030.

It will probally be OK but next time try grinding the bevels after HT. Many folder makers do it that way. There is no chance of warping. At least leave the tip fat and re-grind after HT
