Ill tell you what finally worked for me. I picked one steel (1084) and kept at it until I nailed the HT for it. In the begining I thought I needed to learn how to HT all knife steels, but then I began to notice that all the good makers use 1 or 2 different steels depending on the application of the knife. The reason is they have found a way that works for them to nail the HT for those steels and they can repeat those results everytime.
As for a hamon.....ask someone who know
Ive still not been able to get a good one.
