My name has been invoked more than 3 times so I am now obligated to wreak havoc, death and destruction and collect any souls for the taking? just kidding, Stuart and Doug, you are doing great and not only do I not have much spare time to contribute a lot, I don?t need to, there is little more for me to add.
I don?t have the moments it would take to read the entire thread but I would like to point out that I strongly recommend 1475F for 1095 with lesser soaks. There are worst things out there than even enlarged grain. With most carbon steels it is not as much a matter of if a soak is hazardous as much as it is a question of whether it is even necessary. I found a grain coarsening temperature for one batch of 1084 at around 1525F but I was intentionally looking for trouble, but with some of the things that can go south with 1095 I don?t go looking for trouble and so I keep the temp at 1475F and keep the soak limited to 10 minutes or less.
Good luck, but now I need to get back at it?.
