Brian, I'm not Ed but I do use the 1084-15n20 mix for my damascus and heat treat by going to critical (non-magnetic),soak for a few seconds depending on blade thickness, quench(I use veg. oil) @ about 160deg., and temper @ 425 for 1 hr. ,I hope this helps,also Admiral has the tempering info on the 10** steels on their site. Good Luck , Mike
