Was asked by a buddy to make a beast of a knife and make it as tough as possible.
My thoughts as well as available steel for this endevor is a 12" piece of 52100.
I have seen videos of a blade being abused and it cut through hot roll .50" rod by batoning w a ball peen hammer.
So my questions are,
1 How would I duplicate this toughness of the blade?
2 Which of you fellers is the one to talk to about perfomung this feat of metalurgy?
Thanks in advance and jovial advice is expected as well as the factual.
