Do alot of you guys do it yourselfs? I guess I just assumed the type of heat treating one would want in a blade required some serious equipment. I've never been real clear on metalurgy

Lots of folks send out to Peters Heat Treat and there are others you can send your blades to as well. Larry

What's it cost a guy to get one blade treated? 30 bucks?

I use Peter's and love them, Great service and Brad is a stand up guy.

Cost is somewhere around 15 bucks plus any other services and shipping.
