Al,
It is important to temper the blade in a unifom way, one way this can be
achieved is by placing the article in a tray of sand and then heating in =
the
domestic oven [it follows to do this when Erine is out having some =
retail
therapy]by heating in this way temperature gradients are avoided thus
providing an even temperature.......you could do this whilst cooking the
Sunday roast........what is important is to control the rate of
heating....'food' for thought perhaps.

I seriously doubt if you could get a good temper in a kitchen oven Al.
I generally heat the tang with a torch & watch the colours run. You =
could
also try laying it in a shallow tray of tallow and burning the tallow =
