Surgical steel: My wife worked in surgery and brought me the old blades.
They don't rust so they must contain chromium & nickel. I made a
splitting chisel out of a mild steel bar at a demo last week and super
quenched it. It worked well enough to split a bar to drift for a
tomahawk. I guess it would be called a mild steel tool. (-:/> Ron C
