You can also have perpendicular cracks to the edge, that can be identify by a too hot quench of the blade.

JBG, I believe that if you care to test the base cause of this type of longitudinal crack you will find that it is evidence of a cold shut, the stresses of heat treatment merely expose this cold shut.
