Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a maker or shop that did salt bluing near Pittsburgh, Pa. I am in need of some guidance or to rent their equipment for a one time deal. Thanks for any leads!
 
Gunsmith or custom gun builder in your area. They can run it with a batch they're doing, if you just want something which works.
 
Not sure which type of salt bluing you are referring to (one creates color by virtue of temperature alone - generally the temp is too high for knives, the other creates color by converting outer layer to magnetite, which is black rather than blue) but blackcote.com is near Harrisburg and does fantastic work.
