The Ni and Co will slow the heat treat response somewhat making quench rate less critical as well as adding some toughness. The tempers will be long (2hr + 1hr/inch, or more).
The medium C will limit how hard it gets.
In thin sections it should be suitable for forced air quench.
Looks like this alloy was based on the Latrobe Chipper Knife alloy.
It will have less wear resistance than D2 but a lot better toughness.
