    I'm not sure Keith. I have some old ones saved up from threading pipe. I'm still learning to read a spark test, but I think they are good steel. Mine are called "high speed threading dies". I can check with my suppliers. Maybe they can find out from the manufacturer. Or, I'm sure someone on this site has already figured it out.

    Look on the die, If it says HSS then it is probably M2 cobalt steel or it says carbon steel or is not marked with HSS then they are a good quality high carbon steel.
