I was considering it, but since it is bittersweet, i think a milk quench would work better.

Speaking of milk quenching, in "The Art Of Blacksmithing" there is an aboscure recipe for "burnt steel repair quench" which is supposedly able to repair steel when it has been overheated a bit much and it contained alot of milk.

Using the proper terminology - burnt steel is scrap, can't be saved. Overheated steel can be saved. Burnt means that the grain boundaries have oxidized !
