[TheForge] Super Quenched Dies?

[Ron Childers]

It won't harden all the way through and the dies won't last as long as high
carbon steel. With all the good steel "laying around", why waste time & $$
on something with which you will not be happy? Even the dies that come with
the larger hammers have to be dressed periodically. Specialty dies will
probably work ok for a while, but dies used every day in a production
setting would deform.
