I might add Rasmus, if it's available to you in Denmark, is to try and get O1 with the 0.20% vanadium in it. It doesn't add hardness at that low percent, but it does help to keep grain growth down as it strongly promotes a fine grain. Makes the O1 even more forgiving. The sweet spot temperature for O1 is 1475 by the way. 1425 to 1550 will give you a nice hard knife with O1.
When I started making knives it was with O1 and a charcoal forge the same as you.
