Thanks man. This helped a lot. I already bought my first pre-annealed 1095 but I'm happy to properly learn the anneal/normalization process.

THANK YOU! Everything I've seen out there just jumps straight to hammering, and all of the references to annealing and quenching are at the end of the process. But I'm working with leaf springs, and they're already hard as hell. Kept thinking it made sense to soften the steel first from a stress relief standpoint, and yours is the first video I've seen that actually covers that question. So again, thank you for putting this out there.

Excellent info, I’m super grateful. I hope to start making blades as soon as I get back to my hometown of Pahoa Hawaii and it’s information like this that has been helping me to learn blade smithing. As a matter of fact, come to think of it, the name of my hometown, Pahoa, is the Hawaiian word for “dagger”. Anyways, again I’m super grateful for this great video.

I'm learning a lot from your videos! I've made about 50 knives but always I treated them in low light, but it was so hot the other day I decided for the first time to heat treat outside and it was daytime. I didn't realize while I was doing it but I overcooked every single blades.

Yes it is very easy to do in bright sunlight. Try to get a hold of some kind or just anything to shade the light enough you can see your color

Great video. 👍 Might sound weird but I use all natural cat litter (Tidy Cat). I use a piece of scrap steel to warm up the litter in a old metal stew pot, then anneal my work piece overnight in it. BTW, use new fresh kitty litter. Lol

Leaf springs will snap when quenched it happens just go back at it don't give up and try water please oil ain't the best for leaf springs more for files

Annealing and normalizing are 2 totally different processes and functions. And done at different times and steps in the knife making process.

i see an unmodified pair of horse hoof nippers behind you. Do you use those unmodified hoof nippers for smithing? I had 2 pairs of hoof nippers i was about to modify, but if an unmodified pair is useful i will keep one like it is. I am a new blacksmith so i really dont know much. THanks!

You guys be careful with them Springs a lot of them like water quenching and remember they're going to be a lot harder than normal knives so you might want to anneal a little more because your Edge will chip and not roll if not.. coming from a Smither
