My only question is who will do the heat-treatment on the blade?


Thanks! The heat treat is outsourced, as it is with virtually all the major U.S. knife manufacturers. It's about the only part of the manufacturing process that Hogue does not do in-house. As to who exactly, that is proprietary information, thanks for your understanding WRT that.
