1095 Heat Treating Service?

[C_Kyle]

I've looked around, and didn't really see anything about this.

Who or where offers heat treating for 1095?

Lee Oates at Bear Claw knives does it.Lee is a good guy and does good work,He does all the carbon steel stuff for TKS.

Awesome. That's what I was looking for. He even offers differential and clay for a bit extra. I wonder why Tx Knife doesn't list that under services? They do say only air-quenched steel, so I figured they were not an option for 1095.

Thanks.

TKS does not offer it but if you call them they will refer you to Lee. That's how I found out about him before I started doing my wn.

Cool! Thanks very much for that link. I have a batch of 1084 blades almost ready for HT but don't have a quench set-up or any good oil. In fact I was just about to start a thread just like this... funny how this place works.

I also found out Peter's Heat Treat will do 1095. I was quoted $60 for 10 knives. They do cryo also. They said 1095 is very popular and they heat treat it daily.

So, that's two good sources: Lee Oates, and Peter's Heat Treat.

thanks again.
