Then the tool wrap pouch, is put into an Even heat Knife kiln. The kiln takes a few steps when heat treating stainless steel, first it will stress relief the steel, holding an equalizing temperature, for roughly 2 hours. This stress relieving is used after machining to minimize distortion in heat treating. After stress relieving the steel, the austenitizing heat treatment then follows. The CTS-XHP Blade steel, is taken to high heat 1875 degrees Fahrenheit and held for no less than 25 minutes, before Aluminum 6061 knife quench plates are used to quench the blade steel. The next step of heat treating steel, is the tempering stainless steel knife. The tempering of the blades is 400 degrees Fahrenheit, for 1 hour, followed by allowing the blades to cool to room temperature. During the tempering stainless steel knife, the heat treating foil is not used. Then a second tempering stainless steel knife follows, before bead blasting finishing.
