    Is there anyone that offers heat treating services to amateur knifemakers?

    Hi,
    Beginner hobbyist knifemaker here.
    I have several knife blanks that I would like to get heat treated but do not know who or where to ask.
    Google only returns Heat Treatments Ltd, who do industrial stuff.
    I was wondering if there was perhaps a knifemaker out there that provides this service to those of us without the required equipment?
    I have the material specs and required procedure.
    Thanks in advance

    Heat treatments do it - I've had a couple of knives done by them.

    Take up John's offer , I am lucky enough to have him do my heat treatment and they results are truly outstanding. He takes great pride in hitting the sweet spot with various steels.

    Thank you all for the prompt replies, very much appreciated.
    I will most certainly give John a call tomorrow (as it's evening now).
    Thanks again
