Thanks guys for all the good info. I'm gonna shorten the soak time to around 10 minutes @ 1474 for the 1095 and check into some of that ATP-641. That stuff would save a ton of hand sanding after the heat treat.
Andy Garret, there's a lot of attractiveness to simplifying the whole process with a forge. Your knives look nice by the way. I like that finish. I assume thats what you acheive with the clay and satanite.
