It has little or nothing to do with making knives, and the minimal curve that exists over a knife span (e.g., 25cm) is very small and straightens out when you harden the blade or grind it. The other sheets are completely flat, so here you can choose freely whether you want to save a few crowns on a sheet that has a slight bend or have one that is 100% flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy deep-freeze stainless steel after hardening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen hardening stainless steels like AEB-L, it can be an advantage to put the blade in the freezer after cooling in oil.
