Anybody here know how to draw down the temper in a sword tang? I'm interested in the Hanwei / Tinker bastard sword but would like to put a peened pommel on it. I know I'll have to shorten the blade at the shoulders some so I'll have to take the temper down so it won't be brittle. I've searched forums and the net without much luck, so I thought I'd try it here. Anyone have some advise?

With having more clay on the middle of the blade then the spine, is that why it didn't curve much?

I'm curious you don't show a tenper . I've seen several videos on makig katans and noone talks about that aspect. what temprature do you temper at and for how long ?

Actually I do a temper cycle right after the first quench which is the heat treat phase the n I return the blade to the forge for about 15 seconds enough to heat the blade to around 300 F and then I re quench the blade this is a thermal cycle, the Japanese do something similar, excpet they are using a charcoal forge to re heat the blade. I hope this helped.

My impression on this blade is I wanted a hira zukuri blade and I did ot want any sori or curve in the blade. It is all in how I applied the clay and all. As for my heat or thetemperature It was around 1580 F
