tempering a sword ?
I am in the process of making a sword cane. The blade is 440C and is 24" long 1/2" wide and 1/8" thick steel. It will have both edges sharp the full length and with a deep hollow ground on both sides. I am using a 2" wheel to do the grind. I assume I need to end up with a fairly flexible blade with edge retention being not as important as it would be in a hunting knife. The secret I am thinking will be in the tempering of the blade. Can anyone give me some pointers.
