To Paul Bos - Do you work with ZDP189?

[nozh2002]

Dear Paul,

I have blade out of ZDP-189 and like to heat treat it right, I like to have best HT for it - it is kind of rare and expensive. So I know that you are the best and waiting until you start working with it.

Do you fill comfortable now to heat treat ZDP 189 blades? I have blade with laminate ATS-34+ZDP189+ATS34 and like to have ZDP 189 at 65HRC. Is it possible?

Thanks, Vassili.

I have done several blades of this materal, But have no way to tell the hardness because of the laminent. PB.
