You could also try 5160. It's pretty straight forward in heat treating and it's easy to find. You could also try 9260 which heat treats just about the same as 5160, though it's a shallower hardening steel. The problem with it is that only Admiral Steel lists it but not on it's online store anymore. They carry it on another list. I'm hoping that it's not a sign that they have stopped carrying it all together. I'll find out next month when I try to order it from them. If that fails I may have to see if I can import the equivalent steel from England.
