Pops 8670 in-house Steel - 12"

8670 is a high carbon nickel steel. It's extremely stable in the quench, with minimal warping. Combined with non nickel carbon steel it makes for a low contrast damascus steel.

Comes in its annealed state and is properly conditioned, so there is no need for normalizing or thermo-cycling. 

Incredibly tough with great edge retention.

It has a straight-forward heat-treat with very consistent results, and minimal decarb.

Bars are 12" in length. MADE IN THE USA
