Hardening...

Now she is around 65 HRC now!

Looking good so far. Sounds like that one is going to be fun to hone. I wonder if it being so hard would make it prone to chipping more after continued use in between touch ups.

I will temper her on 59-60 HRC.
65 HRC is way too much and too hard for hone.

Do what davorvfr did and I have done in the past. I built mind from cinder blocks and bricks using charcoal and a leaf blower.

Precise tempered between 59 and 60 HRC.
