Knife heat treating question

[Olopez]

So I’m getting into knife making as a hobby, and I don’t currently have a forge or kiln, so for heat treating I was thinking of sending my knives off once they’re shaped and beveled to get heat treated, but my question is are there any blade smiths on the forum that could heat treat my knives for me? I’d pay what your charging of course but I figured I’d ask for someone local before sending it off. It’s just 1084 annealed steel. If there’s no one on here that can help me out, can someone point me in the direction of a local business that offers this service? Thanks in advanced
