Very new to knife making. Friends VW broke an axle. So I decided to make him a kitchen knife from the broken part as a surprise. Surprise is on me. I have only used 1084 to this point. This axle is difficult metal to move. Should I have annealed it? Should I anneal it now?

thanks

You will get way more responses moving this to the bladesmith question and answer sub-forum. Maybe a Mod can move this for you.
