Hello SteemMeisters,
As stated in the last couple of posts:

I have now tempered the blade in my mum's oven yesterday while I was cooking the Sunday Roast :) The oven was set to just below max (around 225c) and the knife was in for about 50 minutes. The shiny parts of the knife have taken on a golden/champagne tinge now with just a few spots slightly darker.
The golden colour is much darker on the photos than it is in reality.
I've had another go with the cheapo £1.00 grinding stone to even up the blade sharpness as there was a couple of duller portions to the edge. I'm very happy with the progress so far, it appears to be a really comfortable (even without the scales fitted as yet) and purposeful knife.
I'm looking forward to the next stage of the project, watch this space folks :)
Bye for now,
EggMeister.
