I have looked through the stickies and got some tidbits. Still a little bit confused though.
I have a couple of blades cut out and drilled. They are aldo 1084.
I have two gallons of canola ready. I have a commercial forge ( majestic).
It should be simple. ha ha
1. heat to cherry red and then dip in the canola while moving it around. Oil heated to about 120 with a railroad spike.
2. let blades cool to room temp
3. temper in an oven twice at 400 allowing to cool to room temp
Is that about right give or take?
Also what is the soak allude to? What is that? One thread said soak for 5 minutes. soak in what. It seems that is a term that I do not know what it means.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
