Hi,
I have a question please.
While I was quenching a 1095 Tanto blade, it curved downwards.
It was clayed up for a Hamon and I have inserted the blade in the water, edge down.
Just for clarity, I quenched in water for the first 4 sec, then into 130F canola oil.
How do you prevent this from happening and what causes it?
Thanks in advance,
