That sounds like a good idea Kyle as I didn't know that Aldo's W2 was coarse spheroidized either and there is no point in making a knife with it if you cannot properly normalize it to HT it correctly like SamStuart explained. BTW Kyle did you get Ray's video on how to build a forge? I understand your reluctance on building a new one, but you need a better forge without a doubt.
If your burner is configured wrong you will have to change it and how big is the I.D. of your forge? If it is too big for your burner and gas/air flow you will get uneven heat. At what angle is your burner pointed? Before experimenting with new knife steels I would be either fixing or making a new forge. You need a consistent forge Kyle and having to constantly move the blade at high temps is restricting what you can do.
