So....i am working on a blade to take with me this weekend...Also it is for Mark from Burl Source. I quenched it in brine (with the clay coat) and had a tiny bit of warpage, but no pings! I had it in the oven for 1.5 hours now at 350, but will take it up to 375 tomorrow with a small overbend to compensate for the warpage. it did get a little twist, but again, with .375 steel clamped to both sides to straighten it during temper, it should come out fine. Will post some pics in the morning....Getting a bit late to polish and etch it tonight...
If this works out...this should be one WILD hamon! the clay coat had some crazy designs...fingers crossed!
