| 1850 degrees! |
 |
| Two chef's knives and two fruit knives. Fresh out of tempering, they have some cool colors. |
 |
| I elected to only regrind the bevels on these two blades, and leave the heat treat colors on the rest of the blade. |
 |
| First time using G-10 for a handle. |
 |
| Completed chef's knife with polished G-10. |
 |
| Started a hunting knife for my cousin...this one will take some time. It's 3/16" thick and will have a deer antler handle. |
 |
| Sometimes, they warp. Sometimes I can cure that. |
 |
| Another chef's knife. This one has a secondary bevel on the blade of 2 degrees. |
 |
| At full temperature, wrapped in foil...ah the glow of A2 tool steel! |
 |
| More pretty colors on a chef's knife. |
 |
| This is a small santoku knife I made a little while back, finally getting its turn in the kitchen. |
How close were you when you took that first pic? 1850° would make you medium rare real quick.
ReplyDeleteThat is from 2 or 3 feet away. With still air, you can get sorta close. That being said, even with 18" tongs, I still wear heavy gloves to pull the blades out.
