8670 or 80crv2 for heat treat in forge?

[Josh Perdue]

I’ve been getting pretty good results with 1084 but would like to try a different steel. Would either of these steels be good for heat treating in my home forge and quenching in canola oil?
Thanks

I heat treat both of those in a homemade hardwood charcoal forge with good results. I also quench in heated canola oil and both steels skate a file

8670 is super forgiving to ht. Can't get much easier really...

The tempering chart on alphas site looks kind of low. It says 200 degrees would put me at about 60 Rockwell. Would you temper at the 200 degrees?
Thanks

350f gives me Rc60, but I use a kiln.
