    Darren, first, what your asking about is more in the realm of
    industrial fabrication and manufacturing. I would suggest that you go
    to the library and ask at the reference desk about a set of 20 or so
    books called the Th omas register. If you can think of something,
    this book will have a listing of companies that make or sell it,
    even jewelry. You will find companies that specialize in hardening
    and tempering so tha t the blades that your dad makes will be
    uniformly hardened. Have you thoug ht about what will happen if an
    improperly tempered blade hits a rock at hig h speed?  In this day
    and age of lawsuits you will want very good liability insurance.
    there will also be listings of companies that sell this type of
    coverage.  I use this register sometimes when I am brainstorming
    about a project.  I hope I gave you some good advice and directions
    to go.  good luck! 

Honorably, Gerald A. Livings
