Amber Bomba++;
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!

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!

This Iberia looks fantastic. How did it compare to its Fili cousin?

I love my Fili, but if I had to choose, I’d pick this Iberia. It feels great. The steel has that unique Swedish feel. Super super light and gentle feeling.

I’ve been looking at pallets Palmera and Iberia 14s on eBay for a while.
One day in the not to distant future, I’ll have to try one too.
Yours is new old stock, right?

I hope you do! I’d be curious to see if I’m just blindly in love, or if it really does feel as good as I think it does.
It is
