In this video I quench an 8” chef knife that I forged from 80CrV2 steel. I ran normalization cycles at 1650F, 1500F, and 1400F, each with a 10 minute soak, before quenching in Parks AAA medium-fast quench oil. I heat the quench oil to ~120F using a portable propane torch, and I heat the blade to 1525F with a 10 minute soak before quenching in the oil. After quenching I ran two tempering cycles at 400F for 2 hours each. This resulted in a final Rockwell hardness of between 61Rc - 64Rc.
Do what you love, and call it work! Thanks for watching!
