Hello dogs,
I'm new to this forum and also knew to knife making. I recently started a garage project knife from a spring off of an old trap. I got to the point of heating and quenching the blade and then became extracted with another project. I have yet to temper it, but now I'm worried after hearing a rumor about waiting too long to temper after quenching the steel. Is this true? Should I temper the blade within a certain time frame of quenching it? Thanks for your help!
