That’s about dull cherry red in my book the waving about bit only comes from hot slag dropping in your boot all together in the burnt foot dance 😂 it’ll be fine have some confidence and a bit of backbone and a darkish room is a good tip 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted May 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 (edited) well i eventually got around to it............in order to bring it up to the right hardening temp' i turned the fan heater on and pointed it into the grate...which worked a treat and was able to reach a nice orange colour with a hint of yellow..............then i cleaned it up and tempered it on a piece of stainless steel plate on the hot plate of the cooker and watched as it evenly reached the pale straw colour................ let it cool and started to clean it up with emery paper..........you can tell it is nice and hard by how it feels and sounds..............if the blade had been a clip point i would have used a higher temp on the temper so it would be a little softer........but as this blade has a good spine i went for the harder option.......... have included the last pic as a compari9sion twixt the colours Edited May 7, 2019 by ditchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
