I started out using what I called a temporary forge that was basically some fire bricks and propane torches. That worked just fine for some steels. Using a heat treat oven allows me to use a wide variety of steels and be more precise in the heat treat process. The end product (hopefully) will have more consistent results.
This is the heat treat process I used on the DOC Auction Knife Build Off knife that I am working on.
