Heat Treatment - 12C27

[akrause]

I want to buy a oven to do my own heat treatment. I mostly use 12C27 for my knives. Do any of you know of a tutorial on heat treatment for 12C27?

This should be asked in the Shop Talk section. I did find info on the Sandvik[ the maker] website but it took some time. www.smt.sandvik.com/strip Typical of the stainless steels it's hardened from 1975F for 5 min. Oil quench. Cryo treatment adds about 2 HRc. Temper about 400F
