AEB-L Heat Treat

[Langadune]

I've been using Texasknifemakersupply for my 154CM stainless heat treating and have been pretty happy with their service, however I recently switched to AEB-L and this type is not listed on their "heat treat cryo form." I've tried to contact them by phone but it appears they're out until Tuesday for the holiday weekend.

Anyone else use TKS? Also wondering if AEB-L is similar in heat treat to any of the other common varieties, so TKS might already be set up for it.

Also, I'm sure Peters does this variety; I just haven't used them yet.

Sure, TKS can do it. Whether or not they can really make the most of it, I simply don't know.

As I understand it, AEB-L is pretty easy to HT with good results, but it's a bit tricky to HT/temper/cryo with excellent results. The guy I buy it from was very pleased when I told him Peter's would be doing the HT on it, and advised me to stick with them.
