Good fire control can help; if you are using a gaser, can you make it a bit more reducing?  (WARNING reducing means more CO is produced so VENTILATION!!!) If you are using solid fuel; are you putting too much air into the fire?  (Often a problem with electric blowers. or not deep enough fire.)

Not leaving your piece in the forge too long helps as well.  If you need to go do something take the piece out!  (Or shut down the forge.)

I’m using a gasser but how would I reduce it? Sorry I’m new to all this. I’m using a majestic forge 2 burner. 

This is my 5th attempt at a knife shaped object. On my previous attempts Ive had a hard time grinding off all the scale. And have uneven hammer blows that really make it difficult. Any words of advice and help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
