And that was such a nice grind job too... dang.
I say anneal it, weld on a stick tang, re-anneal it, and then re-do the HT. For that matter, just weld THAT tang back on, bring it too tempering temps, pound it back into being straight (or use that three rod trick), grind the welds clean, NORMALIZE it, ANNEAL it, then try the HT again. A satin finish on the welds that are exposed should mask them nicely.
Remember, At least 50% of making a knife is correcting mistakes and solving problems. ...at least it is for me.
