Nailed it Doug.
.5 is a little low for carbon in a working knife blade, however the other alloying may be compensating somewhat.
Just one thing to keep in mind - if the Husky is chrome coated and you put it in the forge, you are oxidizing chrome into the air ...... very NOT GOOD for your breathing apparatus (lungs).
