Hardening some reenactment long knives

Oh no, the heat treatment ptsd is coming back to me😭

Don’t mind me furiously chanting „please don’t warp“

Ah, so you understand haha

Looking forwards to night of the long knives…

Just watching you do this hardens me also

Cool!

I love to see the process all through to the finished product.

Honestly, you frighten me by so often working barehanded while handling hot steel. Also, I've asked twice before, just curious, whether the word "Hauberk" is any longer used for chain mail.

Hauberk is a term used for the configuration of maille. Usually long, down to knees, and usually has full sleeves. It's the most amount of maille typically worn on the torso.

I'm grateful for your reply. The word was new to me and as soon as I read a brief footnote relating to maille armour I thought of your creations. The poem dates from 1757, a foundational work of the Celtic Revival and precursor to Romanticism.
