Default How to heat treat wootz?



Hi guys.

Recently I bought a piece of ancient wootz steel. Yeah, It's a real and authentic one identified by an authorized organization and a senior researcher.

My friend and I would like to make two blades from it. I think the knifemaker will use grinding removing method to shape the blades.

As I knew, you guys are always willing to give people some nice advices.

Any suggestions on treatments of quenching, annealing, tempering and finish are appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
