[TheForge] Steel substitution

[Mike Spencer]

On this topic, nobody has mentioned Flutagon(tm) for hot tools.  All
my little tools -- for doing details on heads and the like -- are made
from random scraps that seemed promising.  But I have some medium
sized hot chisels made from Flutagon that hold up very well.  Gets a
little too hot, quench it and it gets hard again but not brittle.

Did they stop making this stuff while I wasn't looking?  Or has nobody
else heard of it?
