I will use my file jig after I heat treat my blade and grind it to its final edge and try to fix the plunge.
I read up a little on decalescence and now understand the colors I see during HT a lot more. when I have been trying to overheat my steel, getting it an orangish yellow color, it is actually a spotty looking salmon color. I have noticed it looks unevenly heated but I think this is due to decalescence as when I heated a piece slightly hotter it was a very even color. I have gotten a couple pieces where the grains look really good to me. they are very fine and it breaks without bending at all. I am going to use this method from now on and quench it after it has been heated past a spotty salmon color and all of the shadows are gone in the steel.
