I thought that katanas were curved to increase resistance to stress and to create a shearing angle on impact. Of course, I know jack **** about Japanese swords, but it seems to me that if they curved when quenched it would produce all sorts of crazy stress in the blade - edge quenches don't really cause that much warping anyways, do they?
BTW, katanas aren't "differentially heated". The entire blade is heated, and the edge is quenched to produce a hamon. The blade is untempered.
