Are you just using 1095?
I presume you are oil quenching it. At my last job we ended up having to wrap the heat treat foil on our O1. Wrap it in such a way that you can cut the end off with a good pair of tin snips and drop the part point down into the oil. Have a basket in the oil container to move the knife around. Pull it out, wipe and temper. The wrap works just as well for oil quench alloys as it does for the air quench high chromium alloys, but you have to have a controllable kiln to do it to be accurate.
BTW, I read you can take O1 and wrap in the foil and quench in lukewarm water. I'm going to give it a try next time I go down to use the local college's blacksmithing forge. I'll let you know how it works.
