So I'm making my first knife and I've got it mostly done, but now I'm at the heat treating stage. Any idea where I can get it done? It's 1084... about 4" long including the handle. Sorry if this is posted somewhere, I'd just like to know if maybe there's anyone who can do it locally.
 
The nice thing about 1084 is that all you have to do is get it above critical temp (non-magnetic) and quench in warm canola oil. Its as easy as it gets. I do mine in a two brick forge But I am sure there is someone close by who can help you.
