How to heat treat your Kershaw Leek!

Moxy - Cuold you perhaps be more clear in your original post that this knife is a fake, not a genuine Kershaw product? It is a bit confusing.

I have to admit, at first glance, I just thought someone had pimped a leek with wood scales. The pivot screw and the laser etching were the giveaways for me.

I do approve of your handling of the fake's poor heat treat though... :)
 
It says "Duck USA" on the blade, the fakeness of it is pretty clear. I wonder if an electric current would actually be a viable way to take a blade to cherry before tempering...particularly on old school carbon steels that don't require X degrees for X minutes, followed by a cooldown of X degrees per second until X degrees are reached, then quench to X degrees below zero by light of the full moon on the 2nd thursday of a month ending in the letter R to achieve ideal results... Interesting video.
 
I don't think it's a good way to heat treat steels. The knife does not evenly heat up. Also when heat treating you want to slowly bring the temperature up, not flash heat it. I think...
It's just a bit of fun with my latest project.

Hahaha! Where have I hear that before? I wonder if anyone has actually done that to a knife...*facepalm
 
I'm curious how that heat treatment would work on the TiZDP steel. Could you possibly try it out on that steel for me and post up pics??

:)
 
Everyone here knows that your "heat treat" is a joke. I mean really? You never even quenched it (although slamming it against the table was hilarious)! I suggest you try again, this time quenching in unicorn tears in order to get optimal edge holding results. ;)
 
Ahaha!!! I saw some of those in the for sale section and I couldn't believe the prices they were asking.
