One of the amazing things about this community is how readily folks share what they know. Nice to be able to ask someone with more experience how they do something, and great to have them share everything. Also great to be able to say "I don't know how to do this" without anyone looking down their nose at you.

THIS VIDEO IS BAD ASS!!!! One of your best videos ever, and I've been sub'd for many many years. Tre, you didn't need to delve as deep into your personal process, but you did. Your willingness to do that shows unparalleled class, and the love you have for creating masterpieces! The fact that he only had 4 that were worthy of a bladeshow, OUT OF 10, shows integrity. I bet you were relieved to hear that 3/10 usually suffer faults. That company needs to see this video so he gets a full sponsorship. Well done on an amazing video and great content! Keep it up!

I reckon give the water and oil a pass and move onto polymers- Houghton's Aqua-Quench 251 Dial in the speed to the mix of polymer-water ratios to 'near water' if you're wanting that all the fun of water quenching but with a little less chance of it cracking and turning into a banana. Its really the only way short of a water/brine quench you can get the full hardness out of some of the unalloyed carbon, 1095, 26C3 and lower moly carbon steels. Good to see a nice result forming on this knife though, the pay-off to cost on some knives with hamons is about half the reason I don't bother with them. I like them, but they usually cost me money :)

@donclary52935 ай бұрын
I found this video to be a great source of information. I have been playing with W2 and hamons recently so watched this again. I have a blade that I'm working on that is etched, but the hamon is not very evident. Have you published the video where you polish out this blade? I thought that I heard Tre say that he takes his blades to the buffer to remove the oxides after the etch.

This question is a little off topic but I was wondering when doing the DET annealing after the 30 minute soak how long of time do you use when ramping down to 1200? Thanks again for your help.
@TyrellKnifeworks6 ай бұрын
I set the soak time at 1200F to just one minute. It’s really the ramp down at 670F/hr that you’re interested in. Thanks for watching.
@unkyherbalicious6 ай бұрын
How much grinding is done pre-heat treat vs. after? Or to ask another way, how thin is the edge for the quench, to get these kinds of hamons?
@TyrellKnifeworks6 ай бұрын
The thinner the better. Tre is doing kitchen cutlery so he’s about 0.040” at the edge pre-HT. I was about 0.060-0.070” since it’s a Bowie knife.

@maxpower63196 ай бұрын
You need to have absolut control of the hamon if you want to do this. The lines of the created hamon must be the same, or at least 98% the same as the lines of the clay on the blade, after the quench. Its like painting into the steel
