Quenching is a thermal process that modifies the internal structure of steel by heating it and then rapidly cooling it. It increases its strength and hardness while optimizing its mechanical performance.

After the backstand, I start with pre-grinding, which is an initial machining operation consisting of shaping the blade by defining its profile and basic bevel. It prepares the part for heat treatments, optimizing the precision and quality of the final work.
The final grinding is the ultimate step in shaping the edge, where the blade is precisely refined to achieve its definitive angle and sharpness. It ensures an optimal balance between cutting performance and durability.

Wood stabilization involves treating it to enhance its resistance to external aggressions. This process reduces the risk of deformation and extends its lifespan.
