  • In today's vlog, let's heat treat some Nittro-V!
    Today in the shop, we heat treat some Nittro-V stainless steel!
    Here is the recipe that I use. Take it as you will but it's working great for me.
    Ramp heat as fast as possible to 1950ºF
    Soak for 20 minutes
    Plate quench until cool to the touch
    flash temper at 350ºF for 1 hour
    2 temper cycles at 400ºF for 2 hours each, air cooling between each cycle.
    That's it. It's actually fairly straightforward and not overly complicated for a stainless. I am really loving the knife that comes out of that heat treat recipe.

    This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
    Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
    Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

      Yeah... I think a nice upgraded panel in there, with a couple of dedicated 240 circuits for heavy machinery and welders, might be the wisest possible priority upgrade for Jeremy. Hopefully BEFORE he electrifies the C-can and fries everything (and everyone) in it...

    I just finished cutting 10 new chef's out of nitro v, and your video inspired me to take the plunge and get an Evenheat and some Aluminum plates. I may also get access to some liquid nitrogen, and if that pans out i'll let you know the difference i find between the two. you got a subscriber for life!

    Interesting Video and thanks for sharing.
    One thing to consider is that if the pouch is fully air tight and you are adding in paper (as it ballooned in the video) the oxygen in the pouch is still there you are just allowing it to be utilized to combust the paper (which is a added partial oxygen source). Combustion results in H2O and CO2 but at high temps the water will evaporate and be open to oxidizing the surface of the knife. If you have a nitrogen you can try to fill the bag with that to displace most of the oxygen containing air to have better results in that regard.

    Simple little knife watermark needs a white circle around it so it is visible in both light and dark backgrounds. That Nitro v may also be good for kitchen knives. Like the new quench system, don't see how a knife can warp while clamped in the vise. Nice work today.

  • @minorityofthought1306
    @minorityofthought1306 7 років тому

    Hey SLL. Permanentely weld the crank lever to the center. Then weld on a drill attachment (female), for a hand drill. Should shave off some set up time that way. You could also add a manifold via holes in the plates to make the compressed air hands free and faster. Cheers!

  • @kh1991

    remove the bar from that screw and handle assembly...weld an old socket to top of that screw to your plate vise.. use the proper impact driver to socket.... and boom.. fast close and fast open..

    Lol, sorry bro, had too.

  • @garthor
    @garthor 7 років тому

    That looked like a really clean and safe way to quench, because there aren't any flames or steam flying anywhere, and there isn't a chance of spillage...
    I wonder how hard it got the blade's edge though...

    • @dalekidd420
      @dalekidd420 7 років тому +1

      Garret: Plate quenching is probably the single best option for the vast majority of stainless steels. In addition to removing the inconsistencies inherent in liquid-quenching at such extreme temperatures (note Jeremy's comments re: boiling), it also virtually eliminates warping in the process.

      Jeremy,
      Can you heat treat Nitro V with a propane forge and then oil quench? Or, do you need to plate quench to avoid warping?

    Have you thought of using a vacuum seeling machine to suck air out of the envelopes before doing the final crimp. Just thinking out loud.

  • @jesusduarte3783
    @jesusduarte3783 7 років тому

    Hey Jeremy✌️, I have a question concerning a my very first knife that I am working on. I want to get the handle shaped and roughed out, but I haven't heat treated it yet. I'm scared that if I make the handle before heat treat, the metal will warp and the handle won't fit. My question is, will the metal change in size during heat treat?

    • @lachy1709
      @lachy1709 7 років тому +1

      The metal shouldn't warp and change shape. However, after heat treat you will need to grind out scale and stuff, and you might want to refine the shape a little after, so I would heat treat first then make the handle, just in case

    I had to do a double take, and sure enough you used Rhodia paper as a sacrificial oxygen trap. As a fountain pen writer, I find tha a bit blasphemous, especially with the prices these pads command. All kidding aside, great video on this process.

  • @sean00172

    is there a reason you use 2 pieces of kydex instead of 1 piece which you then fold over your blade?

    • @Simplelittlelife
      @Simplelittlelife  7 років тому +1

      +sean huybrechts purely personal preference. I’ve done quite a bit of single piece sheaths lately but for some reason I just like the 2 piece setup. A little of each keeps it interesting👍

    • @sean00172
      @sean00172 7 років тому

      also would it be possible to make a simple belt clip by making 1 of the kydex pieces a bit longer and hten folding it with a heath gun?

    Yes, youre using too much paper. It doesnt take much to burn up the tiny bit of oxygen. No more than 1” x 1” sq. And its not “critical” anyway. 😊

  • @MsMotron
    @MsMotron 7 років тому

    i'm not shure, but i think you are supposed to heat the steele slowly, and not put it into a preheated oven. i could not find the datasheet for nitro v but many steeles require a slow heating.
