Will stress reliving or normalizing reduce the chances of warpage on 1095 steel?

I'd like to expand on the original question if I may since I'm fairly certain I'd don't know enough about the steel I work with to probably even be working with it, lol. I hear a lot about normalizing steel before working/hardening and such but do I need to do that with a piece of let's say 154CM if I am just a stock removal guy or is that for steels that are forged and hammered? I've often wondered about this but never asked the question. I will say that I've had no problems with any warping when I harden the blades I grind, which are usually 440C, 154CM, S30V, 52100,and such, but most of my work is under 12" in length. Just curious about this. Thanks for the good question and getting my mind thinking.
