Take what up to a higher temperature? You may have to go a little higher than non-magnetic to achieve phase change in the steel. 15N20 is basically 1070 with about 1.5% nickel added so it will tolerate going up to around 1600?. For that low a carbon steel I think that I would give 375? a try for tempering and see if that improves the edge holding.
