6150 should better 5160 in all regards by a small margin... same or better edge holding, a bit better grain structure, greater impact hardness, so IMO a better choice for a blade that is going to be beat to death in hostile environments.
Here are my designs out of 6150 - 20" total length Golok - 20" OAL - 14" blade - 6" handle - 6mm spine - weight 1lb 13oz Duku Chandong 19" OAL - 13" blade (11" cutting area) - 1lb 15oz. |

Hi everyone,
l find You,
l received a piece (1000 x 43 x 7 mm) of AISI 6150 spring steel. Need useful tips- It will be worked in open or gas forge, still not sure. Dimensions for future blade : It will be a relatively large camp knife, skandy konvex edge, no secondary bevel. Approximately 6mm thick, rhombic blade (thickest in the middle), about 200-210 mm long. Hidden tang, maximum width 30-32mm in the middle of the blade. Hardness, hmm about 57-58 Hrc. Thank You for useful informations and tips. |
