Heat bluing damascus steel

I have heard of 3 or 4 different ways to heat blue damascus steel. If anyone out there knows, would you please let me know?

Thanks,

Hi, Robert. Please start by briefly listing the 3 or 4 ways you already know.The odds seem high that readers will be wasting their time posting their suggestion, because odds are great that it will be among the 3 or 4 ways you already know. And few readers will be motivated to respond when the likely response to their effort is "I already knew that" :-)

Thanks!
