I've got a D2 blade that warped. I'm trying the old clamp it past straight and temper it again trick. If that doesn't work, what are my options? Can D2 be re-heat treated? What would I do to anneal or soften it so I could get it bent back straight?
 
FWIW, clamping it past straight and then running it through a temper cycle got 98% of the curve out. I reset the clamps to capture that last 2%, and have it tempering again. Still, no one really answered my question for next time. Metallurgically, can D2 handle a simple re-austentize and quench, without any other steps (annealing, stress relieving, etc.)?
