You're using the right steel but the heat treat process you described is something that has almost no chance of getting the optimal result for your blade. Doing it right is only a little more effort than what you did so I hope you'll look into heat treating in more depth very soon. After all, it might look nice for your father-in-law and it might seem to cut just fine but that won't mean much if the blade snaps the first time he tries to do a little light prying with it ...
