This temperature range is sufficient for austenitizing, normalizing, and tempering cycles for nearly all culinary, tactical, and custom knife applications.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eWhy does the side-opening door matter?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003eHeat treating requires fast removal of blades at critical temperature for quenching—every second counts. A side-opening door that swings 180° keeps the super-heated door completely out of your way and protects your arms and face from radiant heat during quenching operations. Traditional drop-down doors force you to reach over the hot door surface, creating safety risks and awkward positioning.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"d-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"d-q\"\u003eIs this made-to-order or in stock?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"d-a\"\u003eThis product page reflects factory-direct pricing for made-to-order units with a lead time.
