Thanks for the comments. The blade is made out of A-2 (air hardening) tool steel, Heat treated to 58-60 Rockwell. I put in
in an oven @ 500 degrees for 4 hours to try and lower the Rockwell (54-56) but don't now if it worked. The handle is
Cold rolled steel.
Man, If I had that kind of talent with metal I would be building some custom knives. Fantastic job on the digger.....it is almost too pretty to use....lol
