Tempering 6150

Hi Y'all-

I will be heat treating a bowie of 6150 tonight. I figured that I would heat the steel up to non-magnetic and then soak in the heat for 20 seconds or so before quenching. This is pretty standard for most steels in my understanding.

But what I don't know is the time/temp figures for tempering the blade. Could someone point me in the right direction?

thanks!
