Just got this back from Peters Heat Treating in Meadsville Pa. professionally heat treated guarantees my final HRC. If I request a certain hardness( within its limits) I get it. 61 hardness here, and D2 comes back BLUE after heat!!! I wouldn’t mind if it would stay that way after clean up and further finishing.
I am gonna go with a Blue thought for scales bough......... stay tuned!!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: sybo,

Looking forward to seeing the final results. Hopefully at least some, if not all, the blue stays.

Nope, no more blue on the blade. It’s like a thin layer that buffs off when finishing out. Now the scales, now that’s a different story. More to come later today!!

Rats. I thought keeping the blue of the blade might be too much to hope for.
Still interested to see the finished result when it's all done.
