Can you tell me more about L6 steel?

TLS L6 tool steel is a versatile, oil-hardening tool steel that is characterized by very good toughness. TLS L6 tool steel is suitable for use as tools, dies, and machine parts which require a good combination of hardness and toughness. The relatively high nickel content results in an alloy with greater impact toughness compared to the other common oil-hardening grades. Typical applications for TLS L6 tool steel include punches and dies, cold forming tools, and coining dies.

When tempered like 1095 it actually gives around 4 rockwell points harder. Doug
