@varun009 windmills do not work that way! when steel is above critical (the temperature where carbon/alloying elements become soluble in the steel) it becomes nonmagnetic, if the steel is cool enough to be magnetic it is not hot enough to be hardened properly. the magnet method is still not very precise, using a temperature controlled furnace is much easier and is necessary with some kinds of steel, especially ones requiring relatively higher temperatures.

Boyka!

@octavianjuravle the blade is really hot which means that the free electrons in it are moving like crazy therefore the magnet that he is using cant align them. but his statement is quite vague, if he had used a stronger magnet im sure that the blade would've cooled and magnetized.

heh heh nice one brick forge!!! woot 50$ knife shop

It kind of is rocket science, because they have to know allot about material properties and how they behave in every possible conceivable way. But yeah knifes are not rockets so yes.

neat forge set up, compact and effective, I like it
-
how come is not magnetic?
realy

Sometimes you need to equalise blade becuase some steels heat up faster on the outside and when you quench the steel on the inside is softer. This will result in a blade which won't hold a edge as well as a blade that has been equalized.



He looks like he just got released from prison. Wonder where those skills came from.
