Apologies for the vagueness. Based on your recommendation from another thread, I'm going to be going 440C. I'll be doing solely stock removal, and until I can convince my wife i "Need" my own HT oven, I'll be sending the blades out. I'll be doing small blades, primarily less than 8" or less over all length.

Thanks for all of the responses!
