OK, working on a coupla Wharncliffe/Hawksbill profile blades, and I wanna sharpen the back edge/false edge/whatever you call it partway up back of blade. Here's problem. Is there any way to differentially heat treat the two edges well? Best I can figure is to quench up to the tang. Can't quite figure out any other way to quench the edges without getting rest of knife. If this is only option, tha'ts fine, still can do it sorta slanted and leave part of spine softer and the tang softer. But that's solution I've come up with, a deeper quench that I can put knife in on slant to catch the full edge and the false edge, and leave part of spine(admittedly small part) softer.
One's about 7", others around 4-5(neck knife). Both fixed blade.
Oh yeah, O1, at least htis time around. THough I like them and think I might repeat the pattern.
