Greetings My good Netizens

My 2 bits, and fyi , i not only did not sleep at a holiday inn, i did not sleep at all last night LOL

K Bob is on the right track!

Ok, firstly, as an amateur knifemaker/blacksmith my advice is a SMALL torch, like a Mapp torch with a pinpoint flame.

 Second, aluminum jaws on a bench vice. Only let the hammer spur stick up. Draws the heat from the rest of the hammer bits.

Apply the oinpoint flame at the base of the spur. At red/orange start your bend.
Try to do it in one go.
If you make a little templet / guide to hold next to the spurr you will know how far to go.

When bent to happiness, DO go ahead and plop it in room temp water.
By that time it will be at “black heat”  and it should not get brittle, but you are protecting the rest
of the hammer from having the heat treat adversely affected.

Remmeber, this is a small part, it does not need a big mongo torch.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info and links.  We can always rely on you for good info.

Track of the Wolf did have one in their catalog, but my catalog is about 8 years old.

I get those all the time.  Also now they are sending out Amazon order confirmations hoping that you will use thier link or download their attachment so they can steal your info.  Lots and lost of Bank spoof emails going out saying that your account has been locked and you need to contact them.

Grrr...
 a FedEx email scam was going around that claims to be a "package delivery notification" from the company, which said, "Your package is held in our warehouse."
The scam was being sent around, got two today and have seen several times before
particularly during gift-giving holidays.

Beware don't get scammed
