CPM-154 spring temperature?

[burchtree]

Doing a slip joint out of CPM-154 for a customer and I wasn't sure what to temper the spring at. Any suggestions?

I did 1100 degrees for one hour times 2 The knife in question has been in my pocket for the last 6 months still good so far

Thanks - I was figuring around 1200, but thought I'd ask first. My Crucible spec book didn't even list CPM-154 in it.

I don't have any specs for the CPM either, they tell me to use the info for 154cm.
