Did you do your final grind after heat treat on a bench grinder, if so how how did that go?
Bob Allman tells me it's a real trick to keep the heat down doing it that way.
It's something I gotta do and don't have a belt grinder.

I've been using a bench grinder with a wet paper towel to profile... I just didn't keep the tip cool enough, when it gets thin is when you really have tobecareful
I'm keeping a bucket of ice water next to me to dip the razor in.

Fortunately I only cooked the tip, I can grind away the bad part... If I fried the edge I would have to profile down past it, or start over.
