Ive read theat you have to heat blade untill a magnet will not stick. Will a small propane torch heat the blade hot enough?
I trieed but I could not get it that hot.

A propane torch will not do the trick. Your seeking to get the blade to around the 1550F temp. A "soft" flame from and oxy/actylene or and oxy/propane torch will work. The main concern when using either of these is to not over heat the steel, and at the same time get a nice even heat.
