Does hot blueing ruin a blade's temper?

[oolong dao]

I was wondering about this, i want to get a traditional tanto but i dont think the company that makes them does hot blueing. so preemptively i was wondering if hot blueing would ruin the tempering or not.

No you won't bother the tempering at the heat of hot blueing.

+1 - no worries at all. Go ahead and blue it. Won't affect the temper.
