If ths is not heat Treated then can I get it treated after I purchase this and if so what type of shop should I seek to do the job?

Well, I suppose you COULD take it to a blacksmith that specializes in Japanese swords, but because of the way the sword is made, it would be better simply to ask the blacksmith if he could make one from scratch, considering that if you actually FOUND a blacksmith capable of heat treating a reverse-blade katana, he would pretty much already have to re-grind the bevels of the sword, as it is slightly uneven in the grind,(due to the cheapness of the process used to make this sword for this price.), and THEN heat treat it, so that it doesn't warp or crack. all together, if you asked the smith to re-grind and then treat the sword, it would probably cost one or two hundred dollars for a quality job, and the sword would still be fairly weak compared to if you simply commissioned the smith to make one from scratch for probably five hundred dollars, with much higher quality steel. however, I see no need for it to be heat treated, as it is very sharp when it comes, and the wire-brushing used to make the "hamon" is fairly well done, and looks real, unless scrutinized by a trained eye. if you purchase a sword care kit with it, you can keep this sword for a long time, with a long cutting life, considering its based off of an anime. I got mine at the beginning of the year, and its still in perfect condition. as it is, this sword is still very good, and worth the money, but if you REALLY want a cheap sword with a real hamon, then you should go to http://www.trueswords.com/musashi-1060-carbon-steel-bamboo-warrior-sword-black-saya-p-4315.html for a VERY cheap, and VERY high quality katana with a real hamon. hope this helped! :)

Depends on how big a piece you need to treat. I have annealed small parts with a small propane torch. Remember heating is only part of the process.

Not sure if there's a guarantee but it seems the piece you received was already damaged. Mine is still perfectly ok after more than 6 months of use

When you receive the cookware, you will need to register it online. Once it is registered, if you have any problems referring to defect, you will need to email or call customer service for further instruction on how to get it repaired or replaced. So far, the cookware works great and has no signs of defects. Good luck.

Call and ask-good people. I don't see why not the base metal is heavily treated. I am going on a cruise next week and be wearing it in the salt water pool. It shouldn't make a difference-the water is outside the unit. It's not like a boat engine.

I would contact the seller. But I bet you would have to replace it personally with cash, due to wear and tear.

Don't use heat treatments on it. I tested a small, inner piece with a flat iron and it got totally fried!

It should heat up on either open or closed. You might want to contact the seller.

The chair is already treated; but naturally the sun will eat away at the stain... ideally, we think you should reseal once every 1-2 yrs and/or restain (i.e. you have stains and sealer stains at your local hardware stores assuming you are looking for the new clean look year around). ;-) I hope the info help enjoy ;-)

It depends if you bought it from a US seller or an international seller. However, it's been a month so I would contact the seller. Most of us are very responsive and we want to make it right for our customers.

I would call the company. I've called before and they are very customer friendly.

Mine had no damage. Sorry, I would suggest you go to Ace or a local hardware store and asked for something to repair it. I know Ace Hardware has a can of stuff that restores finish. Hope it helps.

I believe you will need to send the machine in to the manufacturer to have this serviced. The best thing would be to contact the seller you purchased the item from, and they will be able to provide you with the necessary steps and contact info for repairs.

You contact the people you got it from... From what I understand they are good on there warranty work and should send you a new one at there cost.

NO it will be clear and very evident where the repair was made. I would not recommend, especially if you may use a power washer again, as the product is not very durable.
