5160 quench and tempering

[gga357]

I'm planning on making a set of basic throwing knives for a friend of mine out of 5160. These will be profiled, rough ground, given a proper soak at temp in my Evenheat oven(forget what temp, exactly, for 5160, though), full quench into Park's AAA, and then get 2 tempers of 2 hours each. I anticipate no problems, and if my friend is able to break these suckers, I wanna hear the story.

What basic size are you going to make?

What basic size are you going to make?

Maybe 10" long; 1/4" thick stock. Simple shape, is what I have in mind for these. Something like this, only even more basic(generic pic found on the internet)

Thanks, I was thinking about a slight drop point. Want to remove as little metal as possible while still making a decent looking profile.
