Steel Talk with Troopah Knives: Metallurgy, Belts, and Heat Treatment Myths
Keith is back from the US and the guys sits down with Malachi of Troopah Knives, a metallurgical engineering PhD student who breaks down exotic steels, belt grinding science, and why he thinks heat treatment isn't the black magic people make it out to be. He also drops a controversial take on why 1095 might be the most overrated beginner steel out there. Plus MagnaCut, hand sanding, corrosion resistance in kitchen knives, and plenty of banter along the way.Help support us on Patreon!
