Presumably heat cherry red and quench ,then in the old days used to
bring to selected colour then quench to temper but nowadays they seem to
stick in oven for selected time, how about 300 degrees for an hour then
let cool slowly?


Dunno, but watching Guy Martin doing the sword in Our Guy in Japan was
interesting.
