mullet:
 Damn, I thought it was in, not on. :-[

Pat B:
Thats hide glue! ::)

FlintWalker:
Hey Butch, try quinching one in water. Some types of steel are meant to be oil hardened, others water.   You might also try heating your oil to about 140-150 degrees before using it.  I know it sounds crazy, but it helps.  Saw Filer

Butch Speer:
Thanks Saw Filer. didn't occur to me. I'll give it a try now.

Little John:
I have always made my trades from saw blades, I have had to soften them before to be able to sharpen them with a file but never had any too soft.  The ones you have might not be suitable for hunting. if you get them black hot(just before red) then throw them into cool water and they are still too soft I would use them for targets and get different ones for hunting.   Kenneth
