I love how metal workers always use metal working tools to do their woodworking jobs instead of normal wood tools. Instead is using a router to route the wood to fit the tang for instance, they use a milling machine. Fascinating.

Has anyone ever heard of quenching a blade pointed north . I saw a guy makeing knives in a Smith shop and he said his first blades cracked when he quenched . But he was told by old man to make sure his blade was pointed north when quenched in oil. That would pull the molecules of steel in line . I don't know , sounded skechy
