Yes. I was cooling it to keep the tip from overheating, and I had done so in quick succession. Much more often than usual because I'd gotten the tip and blade thinner than I usually do (intentionally, as I'm trying to draw down a bevel to get the shape I want).

I'll just have to learn to forge more quickly and accurately so I don't have to take so many heats. That and heat from the thick area toward the tip, like Doug suggests.
