Thanked: 995Yeah, the glue might influence what is to be seen, but I was interested in the crystalline structure specifically. It would indicate some of the potential heat history of the steel depending on how grainy it appeared. It would make a good example for some of the home heat treaters that make their own blades. See what you can get...

Since I weld a lot, I would probably try and weld the two pieces back together again, clean up the weld, and re heat treat the blade.

My condolences. I have broken a blade trying to "straighten" it out, now I just adjust the scales to the blade so it closes in line and center. Sharpton has a pretty good wip about his technique.

Thanked: 44Here are pictures of the fracture
Now that I look at the blown up photos it looks like inclusions in the top right of the first photoLast edited by puketui41; 09-24-2015 at 03:25 AM.

Thanked: 44Try searching 'Straightening a bent tang'. There are a lot of articles covering it. First you need to determine what the problem is. When you hold the tang in a set of scales does the centreline of the blade sit vertically? If not then the grind is probably unequal and needs to be fixed first by sanding or grinding or both. Once that's fixed, or if its not a problem, then you can look at fixing or compensating for any warping.

Thanked: 9Sho! That is heavy grain... i can almost not believe the blade looks like that... it wont hold a 15deg edge if it did... that looks as if it wasnt normalised after forging, or serious overheating during heat treat... would be 1095... should look smooth and grey...
