does anyone else set their hot knife on firebricks during normalizing?

Didn't really know how else to title this but anyways

i'm a beginner knife maker (mainly stock removal) but i developed this habit? of placing the knife im normalizing (final normalization, personally usually do two) on a fire brick that i heated up and leaving it to cool for a few hours or overnight. personally don't know if it makes much of a difference with its normalization but wanted to see anyone did this as well or if anyone had their thoughts on this.

do wanna also say that i started doing this cause i remember hearing or reading about something letting the knife cool VERY slowly for a better normalization, so i just started leaving the knives on the heated firebricks after i was done with my gas forge or sometimes even in the forge.
