I agree with Andy.... an oven built for knifemaking is best. Although glass, or ceramic kilns will achieve the temps you need, most are grossly oversized for knives, and are top loading..... meaning that you have this "blast" of heat when you open the "lid"....making it near impossible to get a knife out and quenched before it falls below its austinizing temp.
