That's interesting- I'd have thought the opposite about carbon. And that's a beautiful piece. The blade I'm trying to replicate, however, is a simple Roman weapon that only has high-carbon edges welded to a low carbon body, so I definitely have to work with HC and MS together. Pattern welding will be another project
