Thanks for the info guys. Guess I shouldn't worry about the low carbon content this with the other alloys in there. The Vanadium % is low enough that maybe it doesn't steal too much of the carbon. Then again Vanadium carbides are the cat's PJ's.
My interest is that in Wayne Goddard's Wonder of Knifemaking he mentions the very visible Hamon he got with it. I was hoping you could get the toughness properties of 5160 and the hamon of 1084.
OK we'll see. And GHEzell, I'll be looking forward to your report.
