Hey All, I need a reminder on when to blue back...Do I do it before tempering or after? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

If I do a blue back I do it after I temper.

Always pull a full temper on the entire blade ASAP after hardening, any supplemental tempering can be done at any time after that.
