You may ask why I put a link to a video of Scott Rodell cutting with a Hanwei Jian here. No, I am not trying to market these things. Scott is a friend. I admit. But, my purpose is NOT marketing for a friend.

Why here - watch and you will understand.
Heat treatment is VITAL. Not heat treating properly (according to steel specs and alloy requirements) is not only cheating but it could lead to serious injury.
