Alwayse a pleasure asking questions here :-)
Dtec and Ray, you would be amazed how difficult and expensive it is to get these almost "American Household goods" in Denmark. ;-) What kind of torches do you have to use for a airtank forge?
Do you have a product name on the bricks? I can't really find anything.

Good Luck.

If i try soaking the blade for a bit, which temperature should i aim for? Is it just above critical or should i go the bit higher and try keeping it at quenching temperature?
Do i risk overheating if i do something wrong?
I will practice on a few small pieces.
