I know we just talked about this on the phone, but I'm posting for everybody else's benefit :)

Bring some down to the guild open forge tomorrow night and we'll try to harden it and see what it does. My guess (please, somebody correct me if I'm wrong) is that if it's bimetal it will harden unevenly, break strangely, etc. If we quench it and a file skates and it shatters under a hammer, we may have a winner.
