I got in bed around 0200 this morning and then got up at 0500 to got to the shop. I got a new blade hammered out (it's going to be a beast!), and I heat treated a blade I've been working on. In my exhausted state, i forgot to check and make sure the blade was straight after quenching (yes, I feel like an idiot).
Now, my question is, "What is the best way to correct it?". It has a real nice left hand curve to it. I went ahead and put it in the oven to temper (figured it couldn't hurt anything) while I rest and get some chow. Do I just take it back to the shop, heat it back up, straighten, normalize, and reheat treat it?
