im generally am somewhat safe when i do stupid things but i dont think my parents would listen to people on the internet bc apparently everyone on the internet is a kidnapper lmao
but they did say we might be able to go to the AACB conference in may so maybe -
i found a guy who said he would do it his name is john sims he was on forged in fire and seems like a really nice guy
and i would love to go to a blacksmith class but my parents dont trust me lmao -
this knife is really small so i may ask my neighbor to borrow one of his propane torches and use 2 torches to heat treat
and ill switch out my motor oil for canola oil
-
should i use water instead?

sorry for not replying i have not used my computer much this week the reason i cant really heat treat is bc imnot supposed to have a forge but i did try the can/charcoal idea with a small 1095 carving knife i made and it would get non-magnetic and i would heat it past that but it would not get hot enough to skate a file after i quenched it
-
i think that i will try to use lump coal in a cut off paint can to heat treat with a hair dryer in the bottom
-
well im not very knowledgeable about heat treating in a campfire with a 2 dollar hair dryer also lump charcoal takes me like a month to get a bag full of it so i dont get alot of chances to heat treat in it
-
i have a scrap peice of rasp ive been saving to test when i heat treat
-
ive tried heat treating with lump charcoal in a campfire using a hairdryer for heat but was never able to get it hot enough or even enough to heat treat

How did you anneal them?

1 hour ago, Frosty said:I just did a web search using, "Heat treaters Nashville tn." as search terms and got hits on several heat treating services in the Yellowpages. Give it a try.
$10-15 is dreaming though. Give them a call on the PHONE, trying to contact them online isn't likely to get a response, ever.

i was hoping to get a blacksmith to heat treat them bc most industrial heat treaters are not made for small batches or single items

i made one out of a rasp and one from a file, both stock removal and both are small edc type knifes. I don't really need them any specific hardness i just need whatever seems good to the person heat treating it and the reason i cant do it myself is bc my parents wont allow me to own a forge
im near nashville TN

i don't have any way to get my knife blanks hot enough to heat treat so i was hoping i could pay someone like 10-15 dollars or so to heat treat one or two of them for me
is it possible that i could pay someone here to heat treat a knife or two for me?
