Ok, I saw that pic of the tomahawk in another thread with the decarb splotches. I have seen this on 2 of my blades thus far. I am using my mentor's forge. It's a 3 burner propane forge with both ends open. At one point he had a fire brick setting sideways in one end of the forge that blocked off 80-85% of the one end. I never asked him about it, I just assumed that it was to reduce heat loss. He had to move to a different location and that brick isn't in the forge now, maybe he just forgot to put it back in. The two blades (O1 drop point hunters) that had the decarb blotches came after he moved. My question is: does this brick help avoid the decarb by making the interior of the forge more carbon monoxide rich?
I probably have more questions than you guys have the patients to answer!:15:
