I am glad to be part of this Forum Mr. Cashen
I have learned much here and there are folks who are happy to impart knowledge to any that ask.
As for 15N20 I am fond of this steel and wished it came a little thicker. It is as forgiving as 1084 in my experience in a forge and as I said above makes a great insert in the center of a forged ax. I have a hand forged ax right now I am almost certain is 15N20 because it doesn't turn black when I dripped some ferric acid on it. There are no markings and a file just skates off the surface. All I am going to do is reshape the outside a bit and re-handle it. Will make a nice Hudson's Bay Ax.
