Newb: Heat treating 1084

[WNC Goater]

Okay, search function just doesn't quite work. I know there are probably a dozen hundred threads asking how to heat treat 1084 but I'm striking out with the search function. So...

I've got a couple blades ready to heat treat, 1084 from NJKB. Here's the plan gleaned from internet snooping:

Heat blades in kiln to 1500?, hold for no more than 10 minutes.
Quench in canola oil @ 125?-150? (yes I realize not optimal but it's what I have)
While blades are still warm, put into oven for temper @ 400? for 2 hours, allow to cool to room temp.
Then another 2 hours @ 400?

So from you experts and experienced, am I on the right track here?

Only other question is should I add the blades to a pre-heated oven or put them into a cold oven and bring it up to 1500??



I have also discovered there are a multitude of opinions as to heat temps and anneal temps and on and on. What I listed above seems to be somewhat of a consensus, if you will, or at least the most common process as I've been able to determine.
