Oil quenched White 3 honyaki? That feels like buying a Ferrari with an old Volvo engine to me[emoji15] All white steel need a super fast quench and the very best way is water, allways.

Possible to quench in water also due to the very low amount of Cr 0.3% [emoji1305][emoji39]

Thank’s[emoji1317]

I got info where to buy High Carbon Steel: ——— UHB26c3 ——— (nominal composition in weight %) C 1.25%, Si 0.25%, Mn 0.40%, P max 0.020%, S max 0.011%, Cr 0.30% Now available to order direct from manufacturer! 315x3.0x1000-6000mm or 325x3.8x1000-6000mm, min qty 200kg Contact...

I mostly focus getting the knife to perform with ease and grinding 1-5mm up rather then focus on getting the bevel sharp... doing so i get my knifes sharp ”as a bonus” and they will always get sharp within seconds on a stroke or two on daily basis.

So they have ”lowered” min quote then... 1.5 ton was my min limit[emoji23] Good news is you can choose your own thickness[emoji6]

That’s good to know and was hoping for answer, they are described as similar steel but 52100 often as a dirty one (in my eyes). 20c15 Voestaalpine (Uddeholm-strip) surely has its copper alu and other alloys in there ”recycled” cos mostly that is what they produce. Thank’s for all input in...

Ok! That might be the case, i compared the two on that site z-knives... but what about purity about those two ? 20c15 is extremly clean even if i once spotted at small unpurity when grinding bevels.

Anyone done any comparison and found any difference between these two? Being very similar in carbon and cromium content but 52100 has a pinch of nickel and copper in it. 20c15 is one of the cleanest steels on the market... maybe even cleaner then white ?

Na Permasoak aint the way to go in my opinion... Not that good to put blech in the water either due to enviroment reasons! Soaking takes only minutes and there are plent splash ang go’s out there for a quick touch up if necesarry

Reading back the thread was interesting, some saying that Aeb-l steel is a chippy steel[emoji15] say what? I find this extremely hard to belive and must be a result of poor ht. I’ve had some years now doing my own ht and testing it with different ht ranging from 59hrc up to 63.5hrc. Sorry to say...

1: silver steel (EN 1.2210), sc125, white1 ... in that order 2: 1095, 20c15, 52100, 15n20 3: AEB-L So many interesting steel out there but if i had to choose one it would be 1095 that pretty much sums them all up[emoji39] Universal simple and makes a darn good knife for any purpose[emoji1305]

Just to be a bit “more specific” I’m so darn curious and tries to narrow down what steel is used on those shiggys [emoji39][emoji51][emoji85] It’s like a never ending story of learning kind of[emoji7]

Indeed [emoji1308][emoji41] Got some crystals now to cut on also[emoji85][emoji23]

Not worried, just curious about the difference between them[emoji4]
