I'm thinking of turning a GI Tanto that I have into a recurve. The blade is 1055. I photoshopped a mockup of what it would (hopefully) look like.

Do I need to worry about messing up the hardening done to the steel? If so, is there a way that I can correct this?
 
I think if you go slow and don't overheat the steel it should be fine. I recurved a couple Spydercos myself!
