With due respect to mete's expert qualified explanation,
The salient point is that Texas Knifemaker's Supply has an excellent reputation for service and hasn't been given the opportunity to re-do it or refund his money.
Bryan, your other posts show that you've been struggling with S30V for some time, just like a lot of us. Crucible may send you their recommended hardening sequence if you call them, and I think it's been posted here a number of times. I know you aren't heat-treating this yourself, but it can only help you to bone up your own knowledge.
In any case, Give TKS a call and tell us how it went. Good luck.
