My process for heat treating a blade is as follows. All very low tech.
I have two propane torches lined up in a way to get the blade to a suitable temperature. Bring it as evenly as possible to cherry red and quickly dunk in a tank of vegetable oil.
Do the "skate test" as I call it. run a file gently over the metal. If it skates off the blade instead of biting in like normal you've done it. If not do it again.
You can use a magnet to tell if your metal is hot enough. Touch a magnet on a stick to it and see if the magnet attracts the steel. If it doesn't then you're almost hot enough. I use one of these pickup tools https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rolson-Magnetic-Pick-Tool-2-2/dp/B001MJ0JVS
Tempering is simple. Chuck it in the home oven at 400F/205C for a couple of hours. Allow to cool in air. I use a separate oven thermometer as my ovens controls are a bit vague.
Try not to introduce any heat in final finishing.
I'm sure others will use more refined methods but this has worked for me.

This is the one I bought. It was $80 when I picked it up but it seems to be a lot more now. Your local craigslist will probably have a variety of motors as well!

The shape reminds me of a knife I just picked up.

I got this one for $32 since it came with an SSR, the temp probe is useless for this application as it only goes up to 400 so I got a different one. This model has the same functionality.
