I did a forging demo at the community forge this morning and was explaining the properties of 5160 steel when a gentleman told me that it is also caller OJDPS steel. "Old John Deere Power Shaft. The shaft in the power take off of a John Deere is made from 5160 so it has to be good steel." How can anyone argue with that!

In my demonstration I forged a blank, had a blank completed to heat treating and this knife to show the finished product. Here it is for sale.
