Hi guys,
well i was attempting to do a differential heat treated 1095 knife and apparently i got my clay a little to close to the blade edge and the hamon runs way farther down than i want it to, all the way into the edge at a couple points. well i was wanting to anneal the blade and re do my HT, a guy i know told me to heat it to 1400deg and let it cool in the oven overnight. would this work or does there need to be a soak time or a different temperature???
thanks
steve
