tempering in a oven?

Whittler Kev replied to ironbudd's topic in Heat Treating Knives, Blades etc

I temper in our electric fan assisted oven at 200ºC (although 01 blades do look a little blue at times), suspended on disposable BBQ trays in the middle of the oven. I tried at 190ºC due to the bluing, but they stayed very brittle so were too hard. All seem to come out OK at 200ºC ,and hold an edge put on with a Lansky System.
