If you are just going to forge the blades out don't bother until you have the blades forged. If you want to go ahead and do stock removal, I would heat the blades until non-magnetic, keeping the heat in the forge as low as possible, and then allow the steel to air cool. I would do that for three cycles to allow for stress relief and to correct any grain growth.
