Quench fail. What now?

Hi all

I just tried hardening my first o1 blade.
The quench didnt go as planner. I tried
using a gas roof burner, but it turned out to be pretty difficult to control and it didnt burner as hot as I imagined.
After the quench part of the blade didnt harden.

I usually use charcoal and hairdryer, which aparently burns hotter.

What do I do now? Can i just tak it to quenching temperaturen and try again or should i normalise it a few times first?

What Will the end result be because of This mistake? Will i feel Any difference in the over All heat treat when its just backyard hardened?
