I just ordered a set of the hardness testers that one of our members is selling. I just heat treated and did two temper cycles on three blades, all cut from the same piece of bar stock, 154CM by the way. Two of them came out fine, but one of them is harder than a woodpeckers lips. It came out of the stainless wrap almost entirely blue. The temper cycles didn't help at all. I've never had that happen before. Any ideas?
