[TheForge] H-13 for anvil and dies?

[Roger R Degner]

Not sure that dies would be the best use of H13.
If the price is right I would get a bunch and it being annealed would saw it
down (or work it under a large p hammer) to be used as cutting tools both
hot and cold cutting.

If you do get extra save me a piece.
