New to knife making. Looking for some advice for heat treating and tempering

[Nojomojo]

just looking for advice before i go ahead and do this

i will using 01 tool steel
for heat treat, heating it to a dull cherry red, then quenching in veggie/canola oil
for tempering, 400 degrees, 2 hours. I read somewhere about doing this twice? is that correct?

If you have any advice towards it would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me thanks!
