  1. Hello everyone, I am currently working on a short sword that I forged from a rail clip and I need a walkthrough the HT process. So far I have gathered that the material is something like 1060 with slightly higher manganese content than usual. I've looked at as many relevant discussions that I can find but I couldn't find anything going in depth into the heat treat process. What I did collect from those discussions is that an oil quench has been the most successful but I am still unsure what temperature to normalize, quench and temper. hoping for somthing more specific than non magnetic because that hasn't gone great in the past. thanks to anyone who responds, Jacob
