Re: cocobolo & damascus
|
heat the blade to 860 degrees C and hold att that temp for 5-10 min so that itīs 860 thruout the whole blade,
after that you quench it in 20 degree oil (lightweight oil... example olive oil)
then you temper the blade att 200 degrees for 2 hours.
thats what the instructions say that i got of the guy who makes the damascus.
