Wolf Watcher:
Really appreciate the details.  Am going to try your techniques.  Joe

Stringman:
Really enjoyed following ur progress. Got a chance to give it a shot today and have it in the kiln now. I'm a little unsure about the temper/annealing process, but I'm just trying to follow ur instructions to the letter.

temper is bringing the hardness down.
annealing is removing it completely to a soft state.

Stringman:
So I am trying to hit 375ish (and hold for 2 hours) to make the blade less hard?!? I assume it needs to cool overnight, right?

Gus:
Yes Sir!

Love the way this Knife came out.
Thanks a Million!
Can't wait to give your Build Along a go.
Just as soon as I finish all my Christmas Projects...
