OK , time for heat treat .
This is D-2 steel , it is a high carbon steel with a high chrome content .
It's my favorite knife steel .
I wrap it in paper that will burn up the oxigen and keep the steel from decarbing .

Now it will air cool until it's down to around 150° and then into the tempering oven at 960° for two hours .
Then allowed to cool to room temperature .
Then a second draw at 910° for another two hours .
