This was supposed to be a bigger skinner and WIDE! but she cracked alittle when I quenched her. so I reworked it and this is what I ended up with.<><

Didja heat the oil Frank? Kind of slows down the shock effect of the quench. Nice job none the less.

Yep always do. I thnk because maybe the blade is 1/4' thick I should have left it in the oil a tad longer before dipping into the water.<><
