    I've only done a couple of san mai before and they were with 1084 and wrought iron. I have had little success with A36 forge welding while doing hawks and axes. Seems A36 is recycled and a "wonder what'n hell's in it" mix. Some will weld fine, some won't weld for anything, and that could be in the same 20' bar. I've had very good luck with 1018 and high carbon though. As an aside I found out a long time ago that grinding between folds has eliminated a lot of issues for me.
