I made a straightening jig for my knives! I was always trying to straighten them in the 30 seconds after quench but was mostly unsuccessful, but this works amazing! The knife in it is a chefs knife for someone and it turned out perfect after straightening with this jig, it had like 4 waves in it before! There's 12 holes in each side of the U channel so I can place bolts where ever I need to apply pressure, I then toss it in the oven for tempering and slowly apply more pressure as the material becomes less prone to cracking (after quench knives will shatter if flexed much at all) until no more waves, it works amazingly!
