Hello!
After reading some threads from O-1 Fan and others about forging blades i wondered if there are some forgers on the forum interested in sharing their knowledge about high quality steel things from the scrapyard that could be recycled and forged into quality blades. Kind of a Who Is Who of the scrapyard.
I'll start out with this:
FAG roller bearings are made of 52100.
Stainless FAG roller bearings are made of refined 440C.
