    Dave,
    His name is Fernando at 626-333-7373, very easy to work with and good prices. I think I drove him nuts and took up a lot of extra time and he was very fair with me. I really like the quality of his work.
    Ken

    Well, see Ken, if you didn't look like James Bond they wouldn't have been so suspicious of you. That's interesting how they do it. I had always heard they alternated between dunking it in water then oil to quench it, but maybe modern technology has surpassed that way of doing it, or maybe that was just urban myth.

    Did they say anything about it affecting your ability to polish them?

    I asked them about the different ways of cooling them. He said the nitrogen was more controlable. They found that the cooling was so sensitive to the final hardness and nitrogen gave them more control. I thought they dumped it in oil also.
    I got a call from them today and said they were done. They look "PINK", I mean purple
    I was curious if they would polish also so I just ran over one leaf and it seemed ok. I will do a more serious effort tomorrow..
