Shallow vs deep hardening steel

[Greenberg Woods]

Not all that well. It will work okay for 1084 at the 11 second level which is like 150F. That is the "sweet sport' for that oil. 120 or 180 gets you 13 seconds. Don't be a cheap bastid, Ben. Sell some more of your stash and buy the oil that you need.

You are really after that koa burl aren't you. Or is it the fiddle back Brazilian?

I will be letting a little of my stash out soon though. Girlfriend spent a week with me and I need the cash.
