Al,
Pay no attention to that yahoo down in Oz. All you have to do is to place
the knife blade on a piece of heavy metal (1/4" or thicker, this is to sort
of moderate the heat.) and heat the metal until the proper colour shows on
the polished blade. You prolly need almost a dark purple colour to get a
good tough blade from carbon steel. The nearer straw colour you are, the
harder but more brittle the blade will be.
BTW: Did you realize that this matter is OT?????
