Charles R. Stevens Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's steel, only the gods know what aloy any perticular inch posseses but its steel non the less. I still have a cold cut chisel i made in highschool from the stuff. 2 melinia ago you wouldnt hear many complaints... Fold it over and weld it a couple of times if you dont like the inconsistancy, then test it to see what it is good for, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Geist Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 For the most part is usually pretty good steel. I've seen guys make punches and pritchels from the better pieces.3/8" makes great standardbred shoes for those that still like to swage and hand make.George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
