I know this has been asked hundreds of times, but is this a good procedure for HTing a stock removal knife from Aldo's 1084?
1. Profile, and bevel.
2. Normalize 3 times. (IS THIS NECESSARY ON A STOCK REMOVAL KNIFE? HOW WOULD I GO ABOUT NORMALIZING?)
3. Raise the temp to non-magnetic and let soak about a minute longer.
4. Quench and let cool in 120-130º canola oil agitating up and down. (DO I HAVE TO REMOVE THE HARDENING SCALE BEFORE TEMPERING?)
5. Temper twice for two hours each at 400º (IS THIS GOING TO GET ME AN RC OF AROUND 60?)
Thanks for the help!
