jake cleland Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 the first couple of times i quenched 1095 in water, my blades took a bit of a nose dive. no idea why. this was meant to be a tanto, but once3 the tip dropped i finished it as a fighter. never happened again though.

RedNeckLeftie Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hi Robert, Have you had a chance to try out the 1095 test-bars? I'm curious of your results. Also, what is your heat source?

RedNeckLeftie Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hello Robert, I have been "playing" with some Admiral 1050 for a while, with a Paragon heat-treat kiln. What I have found necessary to get a good clay-following habuchi is about 1470-1480F @ 30 sec soak before quench. I do not have much experience with 1095, but plan to do so soon. Thank you for posting your test results. Regards, Brian K. Brian K. Rogue Amateur and Weekend Hobbyist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
