I've been using 1080 for all of my knives so far (65), but I just ground my first from ATS 34. I have a kiln with good temp control so I know I can do it properly, but I've been searching for how to heat treat this steel and have found several different recipes. They are pretty consistent up until the temper cycle. I know that after an oil quench cryo is recommended to make sure that there is as much martensite as possible, but people vary widely on their recommendations for the temper cycle. Anyone have any knowledge that can help?
