This blade was heat at 1562º and quenching in cow grease (yes you read well), them was terperd about one hour at 572º. For this process I uses a gas forge, and to measure the temperatures I use an element of high technology.... my eye

Yes, the 52100 is hard to forge!, and is necessary to have well-taken care of to forge it.
52100 compared with the 5160 have more edge retention and oxidizes a little less than the 5160, but it does not have the tenacious of the 5160. For a camp knife or a bush knife it seems to me that the 5160 is better. But as always each one has its preferences. Saludos Mariano
