You can do a down and dirty differential HT. Look at the temper specs for RC 50 and do your temper in that range. Then if you have an electric stove you can turn up the burner just under where it glows and lay the polished tip of the knife on the burner until it turns blue, turn off and let cool and the tip should be around 40-45. It may be a bit soft, but it won't break. The stove top burner will be a bit more controlled than a torch.
