What do you guys temper straight 1084 at usually. I had edge chipping at 375 degrees on a neck knife which is the temp Greg Covington and Bruce Bump both use (Greg's knives are large combat models, would the edge geometry make a difference?) I had to go up to 400 degrees before the edge chipping moderated and I suspect higher might have been better.
In the 1084/15N20 mix is the 425 degree tempering taylored to one of the metals in particular or is it a happy medium for both?
