--- Quote from: Stringman on December 22, 2013, 08:25:53 pm ---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?

375-400 for 2 hours remove from oven and let cool on its own
if your using a kiln I fear you may soften the blade too much by leaving it in the kiln to cool.
Stringman:
Ok, not a problem. I'm using this as a learning experience anyway. Look forward to making a few more of these.
Parnell:
Bought 2 good old USA files today. 1 buck a piece. Gonna try to build a small firebrick/benzomatic forge and make a knife. Cool build, Kevin.
Stringman:
