With the thermocouple, wouldn't the forge have to be the same temp throughout or can you use it to measure the temp of the steel directly?
My forge definitely has hotspots and cool spots and I have to constantly move my blade back and forth while heating to keep the temp even.
Crex, with my latest blade I heat treated before doing the grinding. The previous I ground the bevel and then dit the HT. I may try grinding one of these bevels back down a bit and put another edge on it.
If and when I move to stainless, is it more economical to send knives out for HT or invest in an oven if I would be doing 10 or so knives a month?
