January 18, 201412 yr it looks beautiful :) i love the words in your description too - where else would you get "bull horn and heart of holly oak" its so poetic!
January 19, 201412 yr Author I am pleased you like it. Thanks for watching. Beth, I don't know, in Spanish sounds quite normal. I think I'll blame the google :D
January 22, 201412 yr Author Glad that you like. To do the heat treatment, I put an iron pipe in the forge. When the tube is hot, put the blade inside. I check the temperature with a magnet, and when reached the antimagnetic point , wait a minute, and Immediately dip the blade into vegetable oil used, approximately 50 ° C. I check the hardness with a file. When the blade is cold, I do three tempered in an electric furnace at 200 ° CI hope you understand, it takes longer to translate the text than to make the knife :D
