Heat treating a 52100 blade on a hot and humid summer day in southeastern North Carolina.

I am slowly getting back to working on knives. This knife is a personal project. I am finally making myself a general purpose hidden tang field knife in 52100.

A tricky to HT yet fanstastic steel. Not fancy enough for the modern knife community.

My favorite carbon steel.
