Hello,
So here are two questions :
#1 - You heat treat then quench a blade, you don't have time to do the tempering (or second tempering) today so you wait till the next day to do it. Does the steel suffer from this?
#2 - You do one temper, take the blade out and it quickly cools to room temperature. Do you wait before putting it back in or you can basically dip it in water to cool it and put it back immediately for the second temper?
Also, I don't do any cryogenic treatments as my budget doesn't allow it.
Thank you for your time !
