Hey, all.

First time poster here. I’ve got a small fixed blade knife in 01 tool steel that is ready for heat treat, and I wanted to get some good options to have it heat treated. Specifically, who does a great job with this steel, and how much would I owe them for the job.

Specs are:
- 3.5” Blade
- 7” OAL
- .25” Flat stock O1 Tool Steel. The hilt is still .25” thick, the blade has had a bit shaved off except for the reinforced point.

This will be my new EDC knife, and it’s going to have some Curly Koa scales with brass pins, in a black leather sheath. I plan to finish the blade up to about 2400 grit. I’ll try to add some pics.

All help is appreciated, thanks!
 
Hello,

Welcome to the forums!

Good luck with the knife - sounds promising.

There’s another sub-forum (linked below) that’s probably better suited to your question.
