Stanilees Steel Knife In House Fire, And How To Heat Treat

[Robert Parsons]

I am on the Bushcraft forum, and a guy on there lost his house, and everything in it in a house fire from one of the many fires in Texas..

He did salvage a couple of knives, one being an Schrade Old Timer Deer Slayer that his brother gave him before he died.

The deer Slayer is made of Stainless Steel.

What methods are needed to repair the knife as far as heat treating?

Thanks for any help.

Robert

It depends how hot they got.I had a friend send me several knives from a house fire.Carbon and S.S. I cleaned and rehandled them and they all worked out fine.
