Damascus warping

Thus far I have been having about the same string of luck and cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. Almost every third knife warps. It is not severe, but enough that it will need repair. The grind is symmetric, so I do not believe that is the reason. I am going into the oil edge down and not swishing side to side. I am going to 1550 degrees F and holding for 5-6 minutes. Then straight to quench oil. Oil is typically around 150 degrees. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Also, include how I should repair it.
