shawn patterson Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Has anyone ever heard of this material? 10520? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Keyes Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It appears to be a version of A-36, mild steel in other words. Not a good knife steel. The 10520 is a milspec number, it's also called 1117 or 11L17, it's about .2 C. http://www.speedymetals.com/information/Material34.html Geoff "The worst day smithing is better than the best day working for someone else." I said that. If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly. - - -G. K. Chesterton So, just for the record: the fact that it does work still should not be taken as definitive proof that you are not crazy.

shawn patterson Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Thanks man. I wasnt thinking it was any good for blades, maybe. It was just an unknown to me since my shop deals mainly in titanium and stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
