That Iberia looks incredible!! What a great find! Doble Temple means tempered twice. Do you know anything about that procedure?

Thank you! I'm super happy with it.

I did know that it means double temper, but no, I'm not familiar with the process. Do tell!

[โ€“] gcgallant 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm not familiar with it either. The Fili double tempered steel is excellent. I bet the procedure is called something else today. I owe Tim Zowada an email. I'll ask.

Please let me know when you find that Iberia's twin! :)

Oh I'm sure Tim will have a good explanation. I'll be curious to hear it. Maybe it is about time I start educating myself more on the metallurgy aspect.

And yes, I certainly will!
