Good morning guys ! I would make a tongs, swage block for the anvil and chisels, but Which steel can I buy ? I have a k720 and k110 steel specification http://www.buau.com.au/english/files/K720DE.pdf http://www.buau.com.au/english/files/K110DE.pdf but is difficult forging, if the temperature is too high, is broken. In Italy, many knifemaker use this steel but I don't know as they make. I had use a as 38 NiCrMo4 for my first chisels, is a good forging, without a problem of broken, good hardness; but this steel is a good chose to make a swage for the anvil and tongs ? In your experince, which steel you would buy ? thanks in advance ! have a good day !
