Pretty basic really GB. After forging I will bring the piece to slightly above critical temp, which is the point when the steel becomes non magnetic, then wrap the whole thing in ceramic wool to cool down real slow for the annealing.
Next I will normalize by bring to slightly above critical and cooling to room temp for a total of three times on top of the anvil.
For hardening bring to slightly above critical then plunge tip down in warm oil( I use half diesel fuel and half hydraulic oil heated to around 125 degrees. Test to make sure it got hard by skating a file across the edge.It should just skate and not cut at all. Then I will put it in my little toaster oven and draw it back at around 425 degrees for two hours. This is the processes I have used for years and they work real well for me.
