Good for him and the people that need the money there. Funny with the katana she said "High carbon steel from trucks" Im guessing thats the 5160 spring steel lol. I didnt know these things a few months ago, I always like that about new hobbies, once you learn more than the average person about a topic you see it differently than you would have before.

There's lots of high carbon steel in trucks, the larger they the more there is. Things like wrist pins, tranny shafts, valves, bolts, etc.

Good to see folk making it anywhere.

Nice artical, - Its amazing how much 'value added' there is making blades

Intersting that they have their grinders set up in the same way as many of the old (and current) Sheffield cutlers, ie, throwing the sparks away from you (over the top of the wheel) - this makes a lot of sense!
