Where to send O1 for ht?

[Brian.Evans]

I was given some .084" O1. I have a couple smaller slipjoints profiled and I'd like to get them heat treated. I've been working with air hardening steels exclusively, so I don't really know where to send my oil stuff. Suggestions are welcome.

Peter's is always a good choice. They did about 70 neckers in .062" O1 a couple months ago.

I just realized Peter's did oil hardening steel too.

Hey Brian, I sent you an e-mail.

They sure do, and they do a fine job. :thumbup:

Slightly off-topic, and not particularly relevant since you're sending in just profiled blades... but the only warpage issues I've ever had with any blades coming back from Peters were O1. Just a slight wobble along the edge, which I typically grind very thin before HT. It didn't ruin the blade by any means, in fact it was so minor that it went away in normal clean-up grinding/sanding. I just find it interesting that it hasn't happened with CPM-3V, CPM-154, Elmax, CTS-XHP, 1084, 440C, D2/CPM-D2...
