(UPDATE SUCCESS!)..Unable to solder stainless steel bolsters Hello everyone. I was hoping to get some soldering guidance from those with more knowledge and experience than I do. I am working on a slipjoint and was attempting to solder on the bolsters because I don't currently have a spot...

Drawing the spring for 2 hours at 1000 deg worked perfectly. Not sure what the actual RC is but it walks and talks fantastic now.

You got an atm for Christmas? ;)

It appears that most people do not use AEB-l for slip joints. I went ahead and did the heat treating process again for the spring and just took it out of the Paragon furnace after tempering it this time at 1000. I will give this a try to see how it works.

I was doing some additional reading and have found that people compared 13C26 to AEB-L because of a very similar composition. I did find on the following link a hardening process on the manufacture website. However it still does not include info above 700 deg for the tempering process...

The issue I am having is with the spring being a bit too soft after heat treating it. I should say tempering issue to be more specific. I did a bunch of searching on this and many other forums for some solid heat treating information for AEB-L steel. Unlike the CPM154 I've used before, which is...

A really beautiful example of a great designed and executed folder. The wood has to be one of my favorite all time burls. John

This is beautiful! One day I would love to try to make something like this. Can't imagine the time and skill it would take to make this type of blade. Great job! John

Wow, close call. Glad your OK and didn't get seriously injured. Reading this brought back my recent incident with my finger and my portaband. I was rushing and made a big mistake. Happy for you that you are ok. John

Thank you DeMo. You should definitely make one.

Thank you very much Ken. I hope it helps you and others in the future.

I like the uniqueness of this knife. Cool idea for the scales. John

That's a really cool looking knife.
