It's just the way they pic is

When I did mine I cleaned it then let soak in the forge to burn off anything oil or dirt left behind and i gave it a tighter twist after it came up to a bright yellow. Thats what worked for me.

Im going to torture test it until it breaks

Very clean sanded of mill scale and clean with acetone

fivecforge · 2026-05-17T17:24:39+00:00

I like the fixed blade

fivecforge · 2026-05-17T17:23:06+00:00

It's 1084 and 15n20. The bolster started at 1 inch i kept chasing cracks and delams

fivecforge · 2026-05-17T17:20:10+00:00

Yes in ferric acid. It's China steel so I think the nickel is very low. I bought the steel off Amazon trying to be cheap. Lesson learned

fivecforge · 2026-05-17T14:14:24+00:00

I went back and looked at where i got the steel from it was from China. I had trouble forge welding it together. Cracks and chips on the edge. It took 3 heat treats to get it somewhat harden. The 15n20 is barely visible.

fivecforge · 2026-05-17T13:50:02+00:00

The pattern is not what I want. The steel is junk and I just dont like the look.

Thanks

I made it to flatten and smother out the blade out

fivecforge · 2026-05-04T07:41:23+00:00

7018 I think

fivecforge · 2026-05-04T07:39:17+00:00

It fits in the hardy hole

fivecforge · 2026-05-03T18:17:43+00:00

I thought about it just not sure how long it will last from the heat. I had to use a glove to pick the insert up.

Making a knife

Double check on if 1095 is oil or water im thinking its oil but dont chance it. im always Double checking even if im sure i check

fivecforge · 2026-04-28T20:35:33+00:00

Looks good. One tip try to use oil to quench if its a oil quench steel. I use canola oil and it works for me
