Example of a Simple Heat Treatment Process:

• Normalize your forged work to 870 Degrees Celsius and let it cool in still environment. This should remove stress and prevent splitting/ cracking.
• Hardening – Heat to 830 Celsius and hold for 2-5minutes andQuench blade into oil (Luke warm canola oil is fine)
• Test steel at an edge with a file, if hardened correctly it should be “glassy” a regular file should have a hard time marking it
• Tempering – Put in a kiln or kitchen oven on 205 Degrees Celsius for 2 hours, then let cool outside of the oven to room temperature. Then repeat at least one more time.
• Time to finish your blade !!
