Trouble putting an edge on 1084
I have been having a terrible time getting an edge on my knives made from 1084. I am used to sharpening my folders which are all production knives made from high end stainless. I grind them to a burr and finish with a paper wheel. They are extremely sharp and will hold an edge well. My knives from 1084 I do the same thing but cannot get rid of the burr properly. It's not visible but I can feel it ever so slightly, almost feels soft where as the burr on my folders is hard. On my latest knife I have made out of 1084 I have tempered it at only 350? seeing if that would allow me to put a better edge on it which it did not. My only thought would be that somehow it is getting to hot when I am putting the final edge on the blade but I don't think this is the case.
