Well that's interesting to know that H-1 can be worked with for modifications without worry of destroying temper and heat treatment. I'm wondering now if all nitrogen based steels are that way. Because I'm hearing more and more good things about LC200N that Spyderco uses a lot.
OK I find this interesting>> you're saying that there are Nitrogen based steels that do undergo conventional heat treatments? And believe me I'm in no way trying to be a wise guy because seriously I just don't know which is why I'm asking.I don’t think it applies to all nitrogen steels. H1 is a different bird because it is precipitation hardening. I believe the other steels still have a conventional heat treat.
