Good job they look good so far. I never quench in water. I use parks 50 90% of the time most of my knives are shorter so very rarely do I end up with a warp. But I forged a very long (for me anyway 18inch ) knife when I went to HT I got a warp in it. To get it out I knew I would have to Re HT so I was planning on normalizing then heating it in the forge and flattening it. However I realized on the first normalizing cycle it was hot enough to flatten so on the second cycle I pulled it out and straightened it with a hammer.....then did 2 normalize cycles and its dead straight now so I will try to HT again today hopefully no warp this time. If you gota get it hot enough to normalize any way wht not straighten it out right then and there
