NO. 1mm is smaller than 1/16", 3/8" is equal to 6/16" which is way too thick for final grind. .
I would leave my rough grind about 1.5 to 2 mm, which is between 1/16 & 1/8". Our measuring system here in the U.S. is not near as good or simple as the Metric system. With this being a worldwide forum & Americans being the oddball out when it comes to measuring, most of us here on this forum can work in mm & cm pretty easily. Heck, I've even gotten better and I am a bit slow.
I believe any of those HT recipe's would work if your rough grind blade edge would be thick enough to hold the heat until the steel hits the quench.
