I have a 1/4x12x2.5 blade made of w2. I heated in in the kiln to 1450 and let it soak for 10 min. I then removed it an immeditaly dipped it in the salt brine recipe from Buba-San. I dipped it for 3 sec. removed diped for another 3 sec. removed and dipped for another 3 sec and let it sit to water temp. I then removed it and put in the oven at 450 for 1 hr then let it air cool. I took it to the shop and ran a file across it to see if it would dig in and it dug in as if I had not done anything to it. What went wrong? Did I miss a step? Please help me?
