I specialize in high-alloy stainless steels, including—but not limited to—Nitro-V, CPM S35-VN, CPM S30V, CPM 154, BG 42, ATS 34, Elmax Superclean®, Sandvik 13C26, AEBL, 440C, and stainless damascus. I also heat treat tool steels such as O1, A2, D2, D6, 5160, L6, 52100, the W-series, and carbon damascus steels.
My heat treating services are geared toward other knifemakers or industries that require specialty heat treating on a small scale.
I use a custom-designed heat treating furnace with full atmospheric controls and digital temperature regulation accurate to ±3°F at 2000°F. Heat treating and quenching cycles are tailored to the intended use of each product. Multiple quenching and tempering media are used to ensure optimal performance. A cold tempering cycle is optionally applied for additional performance gains.
