I can't seem to take a picture that captures the warp. I went ahead and straightened it out with the hammer, and of course I got carried away and cracked the blade. I may be able to salvage it yet, but it isn't the knife I had in mind.
Anyway, I learned a lot and was able to get the next knife in the pipeline up the same level as the warped one in no time. I left it thick before the quench and the warp was very slight.
