This process changes the structural composition of the steel, resulting in a much harder material that can be sharpened and resist wear. The first stage of heat treating is normalization: heating the object to a critical temperature and letting it cool to room temperature. This creates a uniform micro-structure and prepares the knife for hardening. The next step is quenching: heating the blade to a bright red color and cooling it quickly in oil. After quenching, the knife is very hard, but also quite brittle and delicate. Tempering, the final step of heat treating, seeks to resolve this. By holding the knife at a low temperature for an extended period of time, the hardness and brittleness both decrease, resulting in a blade that is hard enough to stay sharp, but soft enough to be durable and resist cracking. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"preFlex flexIn\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soma Metalwork","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48255721767142,"sku":"yda1787987841186","price":110.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/3573\/0406\/files\/handmade-cheese-knife-set_1.jpg?v=1787987846","url":"https:\/\/www.commonandgood.shop\/products\/handmade-cheese-knife-set","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
