I'm not sure what ham has to do with heat-treating....

George, I think he hit the space bar when he didn't mean too.
Graveyard, yes you can do a hamon with a charcoal forge. That's how it was traditionally done. Use something simple with low manganese, like the 1075 that the New Jersey Steel Baron carries and water to quench. Coat the blade evenly and let it dry. Heat the steel to above non-magnetic, soak for a couple of minutes, then quench in water and hope you don't hear a tink.
