Just got back for getting a blade tested at the local heat treater and they tested my latest Aldo's 1084 blade at 57. I took it just past NM and quenched in canola and the did a 1 hour tempering at 410-415. Should I try to reheat treat to get a bit higher then retemper? I usually do 2-2 hour tempers at 410. But I only tried to do a shock temper this time just to see what my Rockwell was at.
I'd actually like to do another temper but I'm afraid of loosing another point or two and then being to soft. What would you guys recommend I do at this point?
