The heat treat was done by Peters in Meadeville PA. 

I have a forge and will do heat treatments for prototypes or for my own personal use,  but the pros are so much more consistent and hit the target hardness much more accurately.

 diesel,
           I feel ya on the pro thing...My first couple of builds were sent off to Texas Knife Making company for heat treatment and temper...I started getting paranoid on shipping blades out so I got a kiln to allow me to dial it in...Years ago I would use bearing races for stock, now that is a real bugger to work let me tell ya...Crack, anneal and grind, grind and grind...My Dad would heat them with a cutting torch and straighten with a hammer, LOL, it worked though...
