I want to pick up a couple of fixed blade blanks that are available on that well known auction site, and have someone put an edge on them, then do the sharpening and finish work. Also to temper them and fashion some scales out of micarta for me and mount it.
The blanks I am looking at are untempered D2 steel at .25", and they list them as testing to a Rockwell hardness of 13.
Can anyone recommend someone or several persons I might approach who does this type of thing? I know it will cost me, but I don't want to pay an ungodly amount to have it done.
I suppose I could try to do the Micarta thing myself, and just have someone do the metal work and tempering.
Anyway, if there are some people with some ideas on whom I could approach, it would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards to all,
Les.
