two questions

im useing a brick propane forge if i leave the knife in a grove on the bottom will the blade heat up too much before the tang(what with it being thinner) also when i temper in the oven (kitchen) can i just lie the knife on its side on the middle rack or do i need to prop it up some how?

Thx

Bill

if you're doing an edge quench, a groove in the brick is fine.
i made a little rack from a piece of aluminun channel to set the blades in
while tempering. just file a coule of slots to set them in.
what part of Pa. ya from?
