1st knife - 01 steel HT and warping question
Hi,
I just HT my first knife and am concerned I might have over heated it. This is the first time using my homemade forge and after two minutes of the blade being in, it was bright orange (this is 01 steel). It was not magnetic and I immediately quenched it. I am tempering it now, but I am not sure if I might have over heated the knife. Also, I noticed that the knife is no longer flat. If looking at the spine of the knife, the blade turns slightly to the right. Did I overheat the knife? And if so, what can I do to fix it and the warping? Thanks in advance, Shawn
