Epiccfail48,
Well, I finish grind before heat treating, unless you consider hand sanding with 220, 400 & 600 grit paper finish grind . . . . .
The warp at the center is less than 1/32 from the saw top, didn't have a real accurate measure handy. But grinding even that much out would make the blade much thinner than what I was wanting it to be, plus I don't have any practice doing that kind of grinding.
It started from NJSB 0.159 bar stock which I make sure is flat before I start grinding.
Argel55,
Hmmm, I've seen them try to do that on Forged in Fire . . . . some times it works, sometimes not.
I have several ends of brazing rod that might be useful for trying something like that.
