im gonna make my first blade soon
i can get hold of some maraging steel with a carbon content of around 0.3% (i think)
ive been told it wont hold edge well.
U know the process where you fold say, 4 layers of high carbon steel with 3 layers of a more flexible metal like nickel and this adds a little flex to the blade while maintaining the edge due to the steel
Could i do that with this? only folding the flexible steel with something a little stiffer that will hold edge better?
(by the way im going to be trying to make a katana style blade)
