[TheForge] heat treet of jack hamar bits for knives

[Ron Childers]

Lon,

Goddard published "The Big Steel Chart" in "Blade"; I'll look for the issue.
Also, Jim Hirsoulus' book has an in-depth treatise on the heat treatment of
various steels.

Subject: [TheForge] heat treet of jack hamar bits for knives 

its been years since i have made a knife from jack hammar bits but i had a
friend give me brand new bits so i know they are fracture free and good to
froge into knives any one know the crit temp for the s7 s5 steels.  and i
have spent conciderable time on the web looking for the chart for the steel
but it seems to be harder to find than a morrel in the spring
