Can you tell me how you heat treat or do you send that part out? Nicely done.

Thank you, I do the heat treat myself, I have a small firebrick forge I use. I do it at night so I can see the colors very clearly. I keep it at a nice cherry-organgish red, which should be ~1525-1550 degrees for about 6 or 7 minutes then I quench in 180 degree canola oil. I always do a file test and it skates even when I apply pressure. I temper twice at 400 degrees for an hour. I'm not sure of an exact rockwell number but it's sufficiently hard. I do a brass rod test and there's no chipping or rolling as well as chopping a 2x4 and it still shaves hair off my arm if that gives you any idea of it's performance.
