So I made a few knives including a couple of folders (one still going through finishing work). Mostly I made them in O1. I am thinking that for a folder a stainless blade and stainless liners would be a definite plus (specially since it is harder to make sure no water goes inside the knife). Because of that I am thinking that a future project (maybe next folder) should have stainless steel blade and liner, however I know I won't be able to do the heat treat myself.
So I am looking for someone who could heat treat stainless steel for me in small quantities (it takes me a long time to make a knife) at a price which won't break my bank.
I am in MA near Boston, someone local would be nice to cut on both the S+H cost and the time for actually shipping (once the blade is ready for heat treat, I obviously become eager to have the knife finished).
I haven't selected the type of steel yet because I am pretty flexible there, at my skill level I often have to scrap pieces so reasonably priced and easy to work with will be big drivers and advices are welcome.
