RE: knife making
That is an excellent resource and a suitable reminder that the ability to properly heat treat metal is not confined to knife blades.

Chisels, screw drivers, planes saw blades and other tools need regular attention.

This knowledge is also useful in reconditioning tools after they have been in fires. Treat the metal items salvaged after a fire as if they were new found steel. Anneal, harden and stress relieve and you can put "ruined" tools back into service.

Most cutting tools such as knives, plane blades and chisels will respond to the same treatment as the book recommends. Treating everything as if it were O-1 or O-2 is a good generalization.
