Fiskar axes, steel and hardness?

[wolffire00]

Does anyone have any info on what the steel Fiskars uses and what the RC value is? Thanks in advance.

I have never seen it published anywhere, and I have searched in the past. My guess is that Fiskars considers it proprietary. As a note though, take it for what it is worth I chopped and split some seasoned apple wood with the 14inch model and it still sliced paper after about 30 mins of chopping. You could always call Fiskars and ask, write a snail mail letter.
