In this video I give a step by step guide on how to heat treat and harden a knife 🔪. This particular knife is a SanMai build from 15n20 and 1084 steel. We do three normalizing cycles and follow by quenching the steel when it’s at critical temperature into conolla oil. And finish by testing it with a file to see if it has hardened.
