Anything above 450c can and does affect temper. In some cases it has led to cracking along the weld point between the hardened metal and the rest of he head. Burning can be done if you only want a wall hanger. But tempering is all about applying heat and a re apply would be in my eyes a way to ruin that. Just my two cents. And I could be full of it. Just what I have known.

Thanks I see mistakes but for a first try not bad!!
