Heat Treating Foil for Hardening Knife Blades
Shop Ticronic® heat treating foil, rated for temperatures up to 2000°F, that keeps knife blades nearly scale-free through hardening. It is made to protect blades of air-hardened tool steel and damascus steel, and it comes in a 20 inch width.
At .002 inches thick, the heat-resistant foil is lightweight yet durable. It is sold by the foot, so you can order a short length for a single blade or enough for a whole batch you plan to harden at once.
Once your blades are hardened, the sanding belts, files and grinders for shaping and finishing them are on the knife making tools page. Wondering how many feet to order? Send us a note with your blade count and sizes, and we can help you work out a length.
