    ok, thanks for the info guys!

    ok, that makes sense, so ideally i should quench once, then do a subzero quench, then double temper?

    actually there is no vein at all, but it is nice simple!

    the leaf is curved, and i was going for simple, it has only a slightly raised vein in the centre, no other markings, it was good fun i think i may be making more! thanks for the comments!

    if you are on your own then i would say bottom would be easier and safer to work with because it is one less thing to hold

    i have heard of double and triple tempering, tempering, shining, re-tempering etc, and have been told that the longer the steel is held at the tempering temp, the more effective it is? has anyone got any more in depth explainations? thanks monty
