OK. i got some blades that r going to be ready for HT soon. 1/4" thick O-1, 18" OAL, that need to be HT'd and spring tempered for throwing knives. Who can do this??
 
You would probably be better off looking for another maker close by you that heat treats there own blades and have them do it or see if they will show you how.

If you can't find someone email me and I will do them for you.

Well, i usually HT my own carbon steel stuff with an oxy/acet torch, but that is too small for this job. I don't have a forge set up, and i would need to find someone with a large enough forge for this, or a large enough HT oven. I HT O-1, 1084, etc regulary, but they are small blades, not big monsters like these are :)

Spelling edit :)
