I’m new here and haven’t made many knives. But I was wondering if there was a way to soften a file other than with a forge so it can be cold shaped. I recently bought several files and I stuck one in the oven on about 400°F and I’m able to file it now. I’m not sure if putting it in the oven is what made it soft or if it was already softened before. Any help would be appreciated
