Thread: O1 Super Cub

5/8 Super Cub in O1 ready for heat treating.

Great looks.
At the time heat treatment is strongly bent?
Typically, the back becomes convex.

No issues with the heat treating,no warps or twists.

And here I thought this was going to be about one of these...silly me..

Yes I think I understand now what you are saying,I've done it on purpose with knife blades by clay backing the spine and that's the only way I was able to achieve it.

"I have during the heat treatment distortion and imbalances are not. It appears as a very, very small convex bending of back, I wrote about it. The steel is very good, predictable, no surprises."
Always pleased with its indicators of edge.
