Tempering will bring down the brittlness and it will be easier to sharpen. Every steel for knives has to be heat treated and tempered. The heat treating is the same, bring it to critical temperature (so hot a magnet will not stick) and then quench is some liquid to "set" the grain structure.

A 3' steel pipe (do not used a galvanized pipe) and a bicycle pump will work fine for a bellows. A piece of railroad track works for an anvil. I've used smooth rocks as anvils. Sure they break but..... A claw hammer, ball peen hammer, small sledge hammer will work. You just need something to hit the steel with. Files can be had cheaply. Use your imagination. Good luck!

I have a rotorary, a handheld grinder, a Craftsman combo belt and disc, with the blue abrasives. Electric oven, and a torch set. I like his use of water hardening materials. They are considerably, softer than other materials, and can crack when quenching. The draw back times, are kinda extra precautions. One hour per inch, is the most common preference. I have used them all, air hardens are the toughest materials. Plastic mold mirror metals, make pretty finishes. Blades used for camping, and batoning, need tougher materials. Kitchen knives can be thin and hold an edge. A EDC, somewhere in between.

There are experienced blade smiths who use water but they use it in an exact method. Oil is far better for a beginner and anyone who doesn't specifically know water techniques etc. The only time I use water or brine is on softer steel to get as much hardness from it as I can. Even when using oil be sure it's not cold. I heat up a large bolt or railroad spike and drop it in my quench oil. This will also to prevent cracks.

Most are low carbon but I have made some decent knives from them and lots of tomahawk. Experiment with quench methods on mild steel.

First I would quench in oil if using 1095 especially if you're a beginner. Second I wouldn't use a plastic cup as the quench bath. You can get a gallon of peanut oil, which has a high flash point, for about 15 bucks and an empty paint can for like 3 bucks. Source: me I've made about 30 knives out of 1095 quenched every one in peanut oil and they all came out perfect. Oh don't forget to heat your oil up to about 100 degrees maybe 120 warm oil draws the heat out of the steel faster. Next when you make a blade longer than 4 inches you have to learn how to straighten warped steel, just remember knife makers don't make mistakes they just make smaller knives.

Quenching in brine or parks 50 is usually better for 1095. I use canola oil which is not as aggressive as peanut oil and it still works but it's best to stay safe with parks 50 if you can afford it. Brine is scary since it can lead to cracks, but still better than peanut or canola oil

@@Skidgiz99 that's why I'm glad my very safety conscious brother was the one who got me into wanting to make knives. When we were looking for a quench tank I suggested using a Tupperware container and he just gave me this look like is was really dumb.

When you heat twice to 400° do you let it naturally cool?
@dubiousgoose4817

Yes, it is a process called tempering that improves the toughness of the blade. Blades straight out of quench (especially water) will be very brittle, and heating it up in the oven essentially makes it softer and less brittle, however you will lose hardness

When you say that you do this twice, do you mean you take it out of the 400° oven after an hour, let it cool off (how long?) and then put it back in the oven for an hour again? And are you letting it cool down on its own or do you continue to quench it? Thanks a bunch! 👍🏼

1. Take it out after an hour. 2. Let it cool down until you can touch it (will vary by knife size) 3. Return to 400 degree oven and repeat process. 4. You quench ONCE to harden. The three above steps are annealing the steel to soften it and remove stresses. 5. You can thermocycle the blade before quenching to prevent cracking when eater quenching. In fact, due to the inherent stresses of water quenching, it is required to thermocycle the blade if you don't want micro fractures in your blade that might have it break at the first sign of stress.
