Where do you get something carbidized?

I have no idea where to even start. What kind of business should I look for in my area to see if this service is available? I can't find info to figure out where to even start looking.

I can't recommend anyone specifically, but go to the knifemaker section of the exchange, then look under services.

Also depends on what you want to carbidize.

depending on where you are, lots of different companies may offer the service... up here in Canada, I've used 'metal fabricator' search on google or apple maps and you'll see tons... take some time go thru their websites, most will mention it there if they do

Yeah I've tried to do google searches for metal shops to see if they offered it. I guess I'll have to call some companies and see what they say.

A lock bar on a knife.

A lock bar on a knife.

Just the lock face I'm assuming?
What are you trying to accomplish?
I have a carbidizer so I'm actually going somewhere with this line of questioning...
