Thanks for the great info and quick answers. After the knife came out of the oven and cooled off I went out to the shop and using 400 grit emery paper discovered the black came off with some elbow grease. It will be some work but it is on the way to being cleaned up. Like I said before I am making this knife with files and sandpaper. It is pretty amazing how nice it is coming out with just the most basic of tools. I will post my adventures with the heat treat process after I take a picture of my "forge" tomorrow.
Thanks again folks
Walt
