The beginner package involves heat treating blades in either a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace, according to material type, to minimize scale, oxide and decarb from high temperature treatment. Following quench, blades are then tempered to desired hardness. 5% of the quantity will be tested on the desired/appropriate scale of hardness and reported.

The enthusiast package involves heat treating blades in either a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace, according to material type, to minimize scale, oxide and decarb from high temperature treatment. Following the quench, blades are submerged into a controlled cryo environment to minimize retained austenite. Following cryo, blades are then immediately tempered to desired hardness. The process is finalized by testing 5% of the blades to the desired/appropriate scale of hardness and reported.

The pro package involves all of the processes that help guarantee successful heat treatment. The process starts with heat treating blades in either a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace, according to material type, to minimize scale, oxide and decarb from high temperature treatment. Following the quench, blades are submerged into a controlled cryo environment to minimize retained austenite. Following cryo, blades are immediately tempered twice to desired hardness to ensure a uniform temper throughout the blade. Following the tempering process, straightening equipment is available to offset any warpage that may have occurred during heat treatment and processing. The process is finalized by testing 5% of the blades to the desired/appropriate scale of hardness and reported. The package also includes certification of the treatment process and certification of the hardness level on the appropriate scale.

The Pro Triple Temper package involves all of the processes that help guarantee successful heat treatment. The process starts with heat treating blades in either a controlled atmosphere or vacuum furnace, according to material type, to minimize scale, oxide and decarb from high temperature treatment. Following the quench, blades are submerged into a controlled cryo environment to minimize retained austenite. Following cryo, blades are immediately triple tempered to desired hardness to ensure a uniform temper throughout the blade. Following the tempering process, straightening equipment is available to offset any warpage that may have occurred during heat treatment and processing. The process is finalized by testing 5% of the blades to the desired/appropriate scale of hardness and reported. The package also includes certification of the treatment process and certification of the hardness level on the appropriate scale.
