[terence]

ok so heres what happened i made a knife a drop point style it was looking realy good, filed it sanded it , still looks good. i then normalized it but only once. heated it to non magnetic then quenched the edge. cleaned it up a little and put it in the oven. 425f for a couple of cycles. went to sand and found a crack along the spine about 1 1/2 inches from the tip. it only went to where i quenched the blade. i figured i would finish it anyway for a test knife but i put to much pressure and it snapped. the steel is 1095. can anybody see where i went wrong? or is god out to get me
