Can anybody refer me to someone capable and willing to treat this oil quench steel? I have ground my blades but I'm not ready to try to heat treat them myself. Thanks.

I highly recommend that you go ahead and heat treat it yourself. It really is a big part of the FUN.
I wont go into all the details (you can find plenty of post for that). However, all you need is a torch and a container of oil and then the kitchen oven for tempering. With O-1 you can also draw back the spine for even better overall performance. Give it a try, it is not hard at all.

Thanx for the info and advice fellas. At $10 a blade (mvforge) I figure it's a bargain. Though I'd love to try it myself, I think 'll wait a bit.
