I have 2 knives I ground out of damascus ([FONT=Open Sans, Arial, sans-serif]1080 and 15n20) I know I made a mistake with the heat treat recipe the first and second time. I overheated them by 50 Deg or so. How many times can I Anneal these 2 blades and reheat treat them before they are ruined? I've annealed them twice. the way I knew I did something wrong is when went to etch the damascus the were really dull the contrast just wasn't there. I think its called crystallizing or crystallization? I've kind of left these under my oven not knowing what to do with them. [/FONT]
