JimCrawford Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Does anyone know what they use? I reforged one of two blades I bought on ebay, and the stuff hammered like soft cheese. Either my heat was just right, or the steel is very forgiving. It seems to oil harden. Not super hard. I may have to beat the other one into new shapes. -Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 There used to be a guy on here who could tell the alloy of the steel by touching it, but he got banned so other than a chemical analysis, there is absolutely no way to tell what is in the steel you got. If it came from India, you probably got whatever they picked out of the scrap pile that day. Woody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
