[TheForge] Steel substitution

[Larry and Pat Brown]

The beauty of this stuff is that you can forge the shape you want , bring 
it up to a color from orange to yellow using a forge, torch or other heat 
source and quench. The hotter it is, the harder it gets. There is no 
tempering needed. It does not hold an edge forever but it takes a great 
deal to punishment and is easily reforged.
