I've only used 0-1 so far, but I'm thinking of trying 1095, after finishing the 0-1 razor I'm working on, just to see how I like it. I've heard a couple of people say that they didn't like honing...

Yes, but does cementite benefit a razor in any way. It would make it more wear resistant and harder to hone.

I have been wondering about this for a while and I think I have a better understanding now about what would be happening below the Austenitizing temperature but still above recalescence. In a...

Glad you feel this way 10Pups. This is a great thread!

In simpler terms, I think your asking if 'the clock doesn't start until the steel hits 1300 F.'?

10pups are you still here? Sorry for hijacking your thread. Perhaps we should start another for...

Thanks Mike.

I'm on my second reading of Verhoeven's book.

JDM,

It's my understanding that the relationship of the curie temperature and the austenitizing temperature is casual and that...

Mike, at the risk of adding confusion, could you elaborate a bit on this. I thought that part of what makes 0-1 an easy steel for beginners to work with was the relative slowness of the isothermal...

Once Charlie has his toaster oven calibrated to a thermometer he never touches the controls and turns it on and off by plugging and unplugging it.

Thanks for the expanded discussion. I've been heating in a pipe in a gas forge. It makes sense to me to start the soak time when the edge is at austenitizing temp and not worry about the spine. So...

I am under the impression that 01 benefits by a 10 minute soak at austenitizing temperature before quenching.
