Title: What kind of steel ?
Post by: Steve Nuckels on September 19, 2011, 03:13:00 PM
I recently found some steel from an old machine that appears that it was used to cut threads for pipes maybe from the 1950-60s.

I was thinking of forging a small blade out of them, any Idea what type steel it may be?

my guess would be m-2 high speed steel
