Hey guys, this may be the wrong spot for this, but I thought I would put it here and check. I looked briefly in Services Offered area and didn't see what I was looking for. I have a 6" 440C blade that I need to get HT'ed, and I would prefer to get it done a little quicker than usual. It is for a customer and I need to finish it up by the end of the month or so. I usually send out for HT, but again, would prefer a shorter wait time.
The first blade I did for the knife wound up being a little too thin due to all the scale and pitting I had to grind off the surface of the steel. So having to order more steel and redo the blade has set me back a little. I would love if there was someone in the Portland or at least OR area that could do this for me, preferably with a brief turnaround. Barring that, I would also be interested in someone pretty much anywhere else in the U.S., as long as they don't mind turning it around quickly. Anybody got any ideas? It is approx. 6" long, 1 1/4" wide, 3/16" thick piece of 440C that I need at 58/59. The blade will be ready on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. Thanks in advance.
