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.
