I am wondering how thin I can go at the edge of a 7" bowie style blade prior to HT....I did a batch and left the .100...just to play it safe. lol. Now I'm driving up the stock of the 36 grit belt companies....
I see some guys are doing as thin as .020 at the edge. But those seem to be 5160 or 10xx type steel. I don't see any info on A-2 in this regard. my blades are air quenched, no plates. Anybody done A-2 and how thin did you go?
Thanks!
