another method for drawing down temper is to place tool in oven (handle removed) heat to 400*f. for one to two Hr. turn off oven and let cool naturally, this is the method I've used in gun smithing for years to good results, also check out Patrick Sullivan on u-tube on making carving tools and knives, informative, inspiring, and easy to follow.
ps. ouch! DON'T regrind antique tools their too beautiful to waste!!!!
