HEAT TREATING & TEMPERING SERVICES FOR AIR QUENCHABLE BLADES<br />
aIR QUENCH ONLY-NO OIL QUENCH<br />
We offer the service of heat treating and tempering of handmade blades in our shop. This service is scheduled for every Tuesday (except on major<br />
holidays, in which case it will be done on the nearest full workday). Usually all blades are shipped out on the following Tuesday. We can do almost<br />
any air hardening material as long as we have the instructions or the customer sends them with the blades. Blades must be in our shop by Monday<br />
at 5:00 PM. We use custom built electric furnaces with digital controls. All air-hardening blades are double wrapped in stainless foil which eliminates<br />
most of the scale usually encountered in heat treating these items. The small amount of scale or discoloration is usually easily buffed off, but<br />
occasionally more scale is encountered and heavier buffing is required. Our intent is to temper the blades to a Rockwell “C” hardness of 58 or 59.<br />
Folder springs will be tempered to 43-45 Rockwell “C” unless otherwise requested. We heat treat and temper only air quenchable steels such as<br />
440C, 440V, 154CM, ATS34, D2, A2, etc.<br />

SUB-ZERO QUENCH (-305F)<br />
We are offering Deep Cryogenic Tempering to blades along with our normal heat treating and tempering. This will add one day to the usual heat<br />
treating and tempering sequence. This service is also available for our factory finished blades. Deep Cryogenic Tempering is a one-time process<br />
that removes all of the retained austensite (large unstable particles of carbon carbide) from the steel and transforms it to martinsite. Edge holding<br />
properties are greatly enhanced by this process. When adding this service to heat treating & tempering, blades will usually be shipped out<br />
on Wednesday of the following week.<br />

OUR GUARANTEE<br />
We make every possible effort to give each blade the best combination of hardness and toughness that we can through the proper use of our<br />
equipment. However, if a blade is damaged due to our handling or equipment malfunction, our liability is limited to the replacement of an equal<br />
amount of the same steel used in the damaged item. Any further responsibility will not be accepted nor will we be responsible for warpage due to<br />
unequal grinding of the blade or item. We also reserve the right to refuse any blade that could have serious heat treating or warpage problems we<br />
could not correct. Non-magnetic stainless steel does not harden. You can check stainless properties with a magnet.<br />
