I keep the knife inside for about 30 minutes to get consistent black colour, you can manipulate the time to achieve different results, shorter period should give you dark brown or purple - ish colour. Be careful - this mixture is highly corrosive! Heat treatment: -Austenizing temperature: 830 C -Tempering: 180 C Specs: Stingray Steel: 80CrV2 3.1 mm Length: 200 mm Blade width: 45 mm Blade length: 95 mm Handle: Stabilized wood burl, Brass pins Weight: 150 g “We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface but connected in the deep.” ~ William James #knifemaking #hunting #knives
