    Did I do it right? (heat treating 1080)

    follow up --> I tried banging the spine of the knife against the bottom (handle area) of a file, and it looks like the file is indented..... so I think Ill assume the knife is hardened

    I just finished tempering it -- can I still check it with the file now after it cool?

    Did I do it right? (heat treating 1080)

    Hi, After reading lots of threads, I just heat treated for the first time, and this is what I did. 1. Using a home-made propane furnace I heated up the knife until it was no longer magnetic -- tested it on a 100lb magnet. Then I put it back in the fire for a minute to bring the temp back up...
