@ferider @Glassman1 I am the maker behind my GershBlades brand, sorry did not realize my knives were being discussed here.

@Hurrul thank you for the reviews and I am glad you like my knives

Will gladly answer any questions

How long have you been making knives? When did you open your business?

Business... I'm still not sure if its a business or a hobby

Started making blades about 5 years ago, before that was putting knives together with premade blades for maybe 10 years or so.

Hi Greg,

Could you inform us about the way you heat treat your Magnacut blades to the hardness of 64 hrc in your workshop? What steps are involved to get it right in your practice?

Thanks and have a nice day!

Based on the AlphaKnifeSupply heat treat schedule - 2150 for 10 minutes and double temper at 300. In my tester it gets 63-64 HRC

Thanks .
Do your heat-treated MagnaCut blades get the full cryo treatment, or just double tempering?

No cryo right now, just regular tempering
