Wow, you guys second shifters?? Posting at 2 o'clock in the morning?
(My son works second shift.)

Got the heat treat done last night. (my wife didn't appreciate my tying up her oven that long!)

the blade has now set out for over 10 hours and is still straight (So far).

No problem letting it set for a few days, still finishing my first D2 knife handle, and have to make the sheath. Plus have to attach and finish the handle for the second one, that will take over a week anyway. This third one can set all that time.

One curious note, the first blade had real nice color hardening, lots of different colors. The second one had less color hardening, but still several colors. This third one turned out solid what I would call gun metal blue, no variation in color. The second and third blades came out of the same bar!
