Can anyone recomend a good heattreater?

[mykulmorris]

I'm looking for someone who won't charge too much for a minimum order, someone I can mail my blades to and have them done right. Mostly 440c, 1095, 154cm and ats34... I'll need to have between 6 and 12 blades done per month. any help is appreciated.

I don't know if Paul Bos does smaller batches or not.
If so, he's the man.

I've also heard some very good things about Peter's Heat Treat.

You're lost....

Let’s see if we can find the right forum …

Texas Knife Makers Supply does stainless but it do not think they do 1095. They do not charge a minimum and will also do cryo.

I don't believe Paul Bos will do the 1095. He will do singles or small batches of air quench steels. Not cheap but reasonable - and very well respected.

I recommend Paul Bos for all stainless blades. He doesnt do 1095 anymore. He does charge more for small batches but he is so consistantly good I feel its worth the money. I just sent him 64 blades.

paul Bos won't do any oil quenched steel any more. I think I found him by searching on Buck knives site.

I emailed him a question and got an answer the next morning.

here is his brochure link

I've always been very pleased with Texas Knifemakers supply as they will do small batches and have the cryo treatment as an option. On top of that they will test the Rc Hardness for you and write it on the blade if asked. They only do air quenched steels though as mentioned above.
