Heat Treating Damasteel

I aquired some Damasteel at the Oklahoma show this past September and have no idea how to HT it.

I have a KM-24 and intend to plate quench in foil.

...little help?

I heat treat it the same as 440C and have had good results. I also use quench plates and treat it in foil so that should also work fine.
