This is what happens when you quench a blade and it warps. I then got the bright idea of re-heating it, straightening the bend, and re-hardening. Everything went fine until the re-hardening, when I lowered it into the quench tank and heard a sickening *chink* sound. I knew I had trouble, but I never imagined it could be this bad. There are many other cracks all over the blade, but this one is the worst.
