It's a question that we are often asked! Indeed, there are many cutlers used to work carbon steel wishing to move to the top step, tackling stainless steel. The advantages of stainless steel, used for the manufacture of knife blades, are numerous: and the main thing is that they are steel shades that do not rust ... for little they are soaked properly!
Perform the heat treatment of stainless steel requires material, including one of the cutter's grail: the oven of quench. An oven quench To achieve very high temperatures (1100 to 1150 ° C), accurately and maintain them during significant durations, necessary for the good austentisation of stainless steels.
So, can we impasse the oven quench ? Can we obtain satisfactory results by dipping a stainless steel with a charcoal forge or a gas forge?
The answer is no! At least you will not get satisfactory result by doing the quench and the income of stainless steel in a forge. All stainless steels require strict maintenance at a precise temperature throughout the austeanization phase, which is impossible (or very difficult) to do with a forge. To get the best stainless steel in cutlery, we strongly advise you to soak them with an oven quench : It is indeed thanks to a well-conducted heat treatment that stainless steel will resist properly to corrosion.
