I'm not at home with my book, but by memory

1200 for 2 hrs, oven cool for stress relief
1950 for 20 minutes
Plate quench
8 HRS cryo
2 hrs 400
2 hr 400

You know, RJ, it might be the angle. I usually use 15 degrees, but this is going to a family with little kids, and plenty of abuse. So, I went 20 degrees. Maybe I'm not used to this edge.

I did some apple slicing. Then cut up some aluminum cans. The edge is still the same. No chipping or rolling. It just doesn't shave (well just a bit). It's not a great slicer, but it's not getting worse.

Maybe I'm not used to this cutting angle.

AWP - Thanks!

I used a leather belt, but that might not have removed the burr like I thought. It's gone now.
