[TheForge] Shot-peening article- history and usages

[Saint Phlip]

Here's a VERY interesting article on shot peening- how it works, what
it does, and its history, including its usage in Toledo blades in the
Medieval period. Well worth a read.

For the guys on TheForge, is this maybe what people are striving for
when they discuss "packing" the edge of a blade? I know that topic has
come up several times.

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
