Schneider Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Is there some where I can send a knife blade to have them do the heat treatment? I'm just starting and I don't have the right tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Maybe...there a list of knife making suppliers in. the forum in knife making lessons. You will need to give them more information than you shared with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry W. Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I know that Texas Knifemaker Supply in Houston, Texas used to do it. I don't know if they still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notownkid Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 See if there is a Tool & Die Shop, or Machine Shop round you, they heat treat their die tools or take them to a heat treater in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Keyes Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 When you say you don't have the tools, what do you mean? Is this a forged blade? If so, you have a way to heat it to harden it. So what you need is a magnet, a bucket of oil, and a small oven. Or do mean that it's some unknown alloy, or is it some high alloy steel? Some more info, please.

ThomasPowers Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 LOCATION You hunting a place in Australia? South Africa? Italy? Ireland? And ALLOY! most places won't take a blade to be hardened if you cant specify the alloy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
