Hi all, nooB from Tucson, AZ here. I have only made a few knives thus far, and I harden them in the forge, and then temper them with an oxy-acetylene torch. I like the blue color on the blades. BUT...I saw a picture of a BEAUTIFUL blue blade on www.fairbairnsykesfightingknives.com, an FS made by Weyersberg, Kirschbaum, & Cie in Germany. I don't know how to post a picture, but if any one is curious it is under the "derivative knives">"post war versions" tab. My question is, how do I get that beautiful blue color? I get nice color with a torch but I can't get that all-over blue, mine is blue and purple and wheat. Do I need to shell out for a heat treat oven? Can I just use my kitchen oven? Any advice would greatly appreciated.
