I'm running my grinder at it's slowest setting, and I get about 1-2 passes before it gets hot then dunk it. I was only half joking about the burning my fingers part. I'm grinding it holding the tang the with my other hand resting the tip on my forefinger while keeping the pressure even with my thumb. So it gets warm pretty quick, so it take quite awhile to grind a blade like this. But the last thing I want to do it ruin the temper, I feel that if you ruin the temper at this stage the entire thing is ruined. I don't see a blade this thin holding up to a HT, especially not coming out straight. And that, would defeat the entire purpose.
