Brian Lyttle's Gallery of Knives gives an
idea of the variety of his work and the many
possibilities for designs and embellishments.

Comprised of two of Crucible's outstanding
oil-hardening tool steels: CRUCIBLE's Ketos (01) & CRUCIBLE's Champaloy (L6); Both of these steels have deep hardening characteristics and can be mar-quenched; It is also possible to convert this combination of CRUCIBLE steels to bainite, Spherodize annealed Bars are rough ground Bars are sold in 7.5" and 15" lengths |

| HEAT-TREATING
BY BRIAN LYTTLE |
High carbon and Damascus blades are heat-treated, using molten salt-bath
equipment which is fitted with state-of-the-art,
up-to-date digital controls. The process
includes austenitizing, marquenching, and
tempering in the salts. Bainite: Brian is now able to heat-treat high carbon sword blades up to a length of 24 inches. These blades can have a microstructure of tempered martensite or bainite (your choice). Brian's 5160 Steel blades, converted to bainite, Rockwell out to RC.57. His 01 Steel blades, converted to bainite, Rockwell out to RC.59. Blades that have been heat-treated in salt
exhibit no pitting or scaling. They can be
taken to a very fine finish before heat-treating
and, afterwards, they clean up very quickly.
High carbon & Damascus steel blades exhibit
a finish similar to a very light heat blue. |
