Title: Quenching ??
Post by: tjp on April 19, 2008, 08:07:00 AM

Hey guys,

I'm new to making knives.  I've been working on some saw blade knives.  On a thread on hear someone mentioned quenching.  Could someone explain what that is and tell me if I need to do it for blades made out of modern day saw blades.

Thanks,

Tom
