Well thats good to know. I was over at Smokey Mountain Knife Works in Tennessee several weeks ago and they had some pieces as well as some cheap Pakistani damascus. I picked up a few pieces of the Alabama and their pamphlet with heat treating recommendations.
I've got a couple blades ground and treated ready for handles. One warped but I straightened it without too much trouble. Edge deflection test looked good. Anxious to get them finished and try them out.
