Hello Darren, A "bad temper" and a "temper" is the same thing ... right? Since Sikhote is crystalline, you need to temper it properly so it doesn't end up fatiguing as shrapnel. The piece obviously got a bad tempering, as it was done too quickly and the back is still somewhat brittle, though the annealing of the metal is clear in the flow-over perimeter where the heat was applied. Nice piece of work with an attitude ... and a great pun by Michael and Jan. Thanks.
