Carpenter XHP
Hello gents! I've got my first four blades of Carpenter's XHP ready to HT. I have the Carpenter recomendations at hand - 1900, 550 1 hour - but I was figuring that somebody has already done a little experimentation that I might could "borrow" from their experience
 My blades are all 1/8 thick, I was planning on foil treating them and plate quenching. I was also going to cryo them post quench like 40CP but should I wait post temper??? The spec sheet says you can push the hardness to 64ish with a 350 temper but that seems like it might get a little brittle....or would it? Dang sure may be hard to sharpen
