Very nice, how is that "differentially hardening" done, I'd love to know that method

Thank You! Several different ways to do it. This was done using Rutland furnace cement. Edge quenching is the easiest way. Look on the forum. Lots of info about it I'm sure. I couldn't begin to explain the entire process in a few sentences
