[quote:mathetes:MV8yNTgzNzk3XzQ1MDQ0MDc5X0Y3RTgyNzU2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 56668076:MV8yNTgzNzk3XzQ1MDQzOTQ3X0E5N0I1QUE0] You don't really say what the steel is. Is it mild steel? if so how do you get a temper? Is it a piece of spring steel from a leaf spring of a car? One would think that would take a temper better but you might want to anneal before working. [/quote] 1095 steel , but if your on a budget you can even use a lawnmower blade 1095 series has 0.95% carbon, which is very close to the carbon content of tamahagane (steel used in Japan for making nihonto) [/quote]
