Thanked: 7Why do it the hard way?
Kasenit Surface Hardening Compound 1 lb - MidwayUSA
This seems simple... and cheap....just getting the heat right.....
But does this not seem rather close to just folding steel to make something like damascus?
Your just adding more and more carbon to the skin of the steel... I think this would be great, but why not just make the blade from a high carbon steel? I now it would be harder to hone... but it would hold its edge for quite a while...
or maybe I don't get something about case hardening...
