[TheForge] Finishing forged knife

[Scott Lane]

Greetings,
	I have just finished rough forging my first pattern welded blade (and 
don't anyone dare say Damscus).  It's pretty close to final shape but I 
left enough to do the final grinding.  As this is my first forged knife 
ever I have a question:
	In what order should I now do the grinding, normalizing (thermal cycling 3 
times) and hardening/tempering?  I'll probably normalize before grinding 
just to be sure so that I can tap out the small kinks, but should I 
normalize after grinding again?  Heat treat before or after 
grinding?  Polish after heat treating?  Acid etch last?
	This is a small Viking style knife that with a whittle tang going into an 
antler handle.
	I'm really looking forward to the advice and to finishing my first knife.

Thanks!
Scott
