Jim, good articles!! the one problem is what percent of what do you add in?? ya know?
Maybe by the time I've got the funds to put together my knife shop, I'll know what steel to use.
I really like 1095 and 5160 forges like a dream. Since I like to do re enacting stuff, those steels work really well for bowies and patch knives and swords.

let me die not in hunger, but in combat!
