Thanked: 995Thanks Omid, that prompted me to remember another option. A blacksmith by the name of Rob Gunter came up with a solution called SuperQuench some time ago. It's a mixture that will get the thinnest hard skin on a bar of mild steel. I don't have the recipe handy and I'm sure there are now a half dozen variations.
A good friend of mine who makes hatchets out of milder steel uses it. The hardened skin is thin enough that it will hone away much quicker than a better grade of steel. But it's something to use when you're in a pinch.“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power.” R.G.Ingersoll
