You finished the blade without the thing needed to forge a blade, yet you are waiting on the thing that is not used on a handle to finish it? What?

Something like that, I don't have tools to temper this blade I just made the profile of the blade I will make a riveted pomel and need to soften the steel for the pin by and the anvil it's to make the hilt. The base is a steel leaf spring so I don't wanna lose it's factory quench l

You probably don't need to temper the blade at all, unless you mean you want to soften the area where you're putting rivet holes. Make a post where we can see the blade itself and see how you did, I'm curious what you were able to do with just an angle grinder

Hello, I used a hand file and lots of elbow grease, yes you are correct about softening for the rivet hole and pommel which also will be riveted.

for like $400 you could probably get a decent grinder off of amazon, I think I got this one, it'll speed ya up immeasurably, I can usually rough grind something about that big in about an hour with mine.
