Made a meat cleaver out of 316 stainless. Turned out nice. I welded a section of HSS to the body to make the cutting edge. Had a slight warp from welding, put it in the forge, flattened it on the anvil, quinched it... huge warp. I tried a couple times with varying degrees of warpage. Going to cut my weld and put on a different piece of HSS and spread my welds out more. Hopefully I wont warp it to shit this time. (1/8" of "cup" along the edge over about 6 inches)
The question: what if I clamp it between two pieces of thick steel when it comes out the forge - THEN quench the whole assembly. Any advice would be appreciated.
