I was just heat treating a neck knife that is a WIP. I am making this from an old Nickleson file. When I reached critical temp (Non Magnetic) I was pulling it from my home made furnace, I heard a crack sound:s12108:. I went ahead and did a quench. After it cooled off I noticed that it hadn't cracked, but a chunk of file had broken off. I looked it over and found no more problem :les: I should have taken a picture of it ! I cleaned up the area with my belt sander. It still looked good so I put it in the oven for a soak :chef:
I guess my question is it ok to go ahead with my grind ?
