Watching this thread closely

I just quenched my first knife. I did it in a 10% brine. It is 1095, and it didn't crack so I am Happy about that. It was sunny outside so I couldn't see the color very well. I heated it up in my make shift gas forge untill a magnet wouldn't stick and then about a minute longer.

I took a file and it slid nice and smooth but I could see a light scratch. I guess I will just temper it, do a final grind, sharpen and see what happens.
