Thanks Doug, I appreciate the comments and info.
I was never planning on a cryo treatment.....I knew it was not the best or needed with 1095.
I am planning on a test "coupon" as they say and a ground/beveled blade sample to harden. Believe it or not, I already knew from my research that 1095 was a shallow hardening steel. The thickest part of my blades will not be over 5/32" (actually slightly under) so shouldn't be too bad regarding depth.....time will tell.
I also happen to have some hardness files from my nephew. I know they aren't the best and rather crude, but they may help me out somewhat.
DAVID
