A temperature of 1475? should have put adequate carbon into solution so I doubt that your problem lies there. The 1095 probably has a cooling curve that is more to the left of the 1084 which is a bit deeper hardening. So it makes me wonder if the canola oil is doing the job for you. It could be right at the border of beating the nose of the curve. Your solution may be to get some commercial fast quenching oil or try brine.
By the way, how did the first knife turn out on the edge flex?
