#antiscale

#Heattreating was a SUCCESS!!!! The #80crv2 was a 65-66 and the #52100 a 62 #HRCrockwellhardness... Though I wonder if the scale mess up the 52100... I still need to do some testing with the #antiscale & other #knifesteel... #heattreatingknives #knifemaking #knifemakingcommunity #evaderknives #heattreating80crv2 #heattreating52100 #knifenut #heattreating #52100steel #80crv2steel #knifemaker #knifemaking #evaderknives #knifemakingcommunity #knivesofinstagram  #knifeporn🔪 #fixedblades https://www.instagram.com/p/BqHKmuxBbVe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16d6rj2zs5c29

Little #knifemakerstip when applying #antiscale to #knives for #Hamons.... almost time for #heattreating #evaderknives #WIP #Customknives #knifemaker #knifemaking #handmadeinamerica #handmadeknives (at Fairfax County, Virginia)

Alright... Time to get my #grind on, haha... #Knifemakerstip, wash off the powder #antiscale before it completely cools. I have never had this much trouble using it... #5160chopper  #EvaderKnives #knifemaker #handmadeinamerica #dailygrind #customknife #knifecommunity #knifemaking #knifemaker #WIP #Customknives #zombiekiller

All 3 of the #52100 #EDC #Knives skated a file too... #HeatTreating is done... time to wash off the #antiscale with hot water and test them all with #HRCFiles... I gotta let my #HeatTreatOven cool down. The #5160chopper won’t fit in my toaster oven... #EvaderKnives #knifemaker #knifeporn #knifemaking #customknives #knivesofinstagram (at Vienna, Virginia)

So I got sidetracked for a couple of days... I got the paint on #Antiscale applied, now I just have to fire up the oven to 500f for a few minutes, apply the powder and then we are ready for #HeatTreating... after breakfast that is, hahaha  #McmasterCarrquench..... #EvaderKnives #knifemaker #handmadeinamerica #dailygrind #customknife #HeatTreatOven #knifecommunity #knifemaking #knifemaker  #WIP #EDC #Customknives #knifemakerstips

1500f.... here we go.... #antiscale applied. I’ll just work on the #discgrinder to try to catch up.... #EvaderKnives #knifemaking #KnifeMaker #customkarambit #52100steel (at Dunn Loring, Virginia)

So check this out, I don't know if it is impurities in the #52100steel or the #antiscale from heat treat(but I've used that antiscale many times & never got this). I grind & grind and as everything else got shiny, these spots looked like smudges that wouldn't come out, then when I #etched in #ferricchloride it turned white. I know some are saying it's behind the handle, no one will know, but I know and it seems in the metal so weird. #knifemaker #EvaderKnives #knifemaking #customknives #customknife #dailygrind (at Vienna, Virginia)
