Make sure that you pay attention to the markings on the blade....they mean that Dovo uses lead...or something like that

The principal advantage of using molten lead is to reduce the amount of carbon that is lost during heat treating a piece of steel. One of the books I have on hardening steel stated that mercury would be better but it was to expe3nsive.
Hope this helps,

I noticed a post in the venders section which has a blurb directly from Dovo about their manufacturing process and according to them they heat the metal to 1300 degrees (C I assume) and then use a special oil to chill the metal. Sorry but no lead hardening there.

I haven't reaaad it, but this lead isn't used for cooling. I think it's used for tempering. Based on what you say, the video seems to insert the lead step between the heating and cooling. Originally Posted by thebigspendur
