December 27, 201312 yr 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.
December 27, 201312 yr 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.
December 27, 201312 yr I know that Texas Knifemaker Supply in Houston, Texas used to do it. I don't know if they still do.
December 27, 201312 yr 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.
December 27, 201312 yr 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. Geoff
December 27, 201312 yr 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!
