      @@mrrealegeno7004 Greetings, if the blade has already been heat treated you would not be able to put Jimping on it by filing. You might contact the manufacturer and see if they can advise if they might be able to perform this. My guess is that they would have to normalize and then re-heat treat after jimping.
