I've decided to start heat treating blades again. This is mainly to help hobbist makers who don't have the equipment to do it themselves. If you're doing large batches you're better off sending them to Peters, Bos, etc. but if you're just doing a few blades I may be able to save you a few bucks. I will be doing oil hardening steels only and nothing over 12" total length. Pricing will be $10 per blade + $10 return shipping. For example, 3 blades will be a total of $40. Mixed batches are fine and do NOT cost extra. The only payment I will accept is cash. As far as turnaround, anything recieved by Noon on Saturday will be back in the mail on the following Monday. I will only use USPS for return shipping.
Your blades will be done one at a time in a computer controlled electric furnace and will be quenched in a commercial quenchant with the proper quench speed for your specific steel type. In short, I will treat your blades exactly like I treat my own. I also have a hardness tester to insure hardness within 1 point on the Rockwell C scale.
If you decide to send some blades, here is the best way to handle it.
1. Mark each blade with its steel type and target hardness.
2. Write me a note including your name, address, Tel.#, & email. You can also add any special instructions if you have them.
3. Put the note and the cash in a seperate envelope. The envelope helps me keep things from getting things mixed up.
4. Put the envelope in the package with the blades.
5. Send the package to;
