there's no such thing as too much lust. have another.

I really need to get my hands on wrought iron for doing the cores of these silver-inlaid viking hilts. No way I'm good enough to do the patternwelded blades though.

ctd:
the steel is "verified" by a Assistant professor.
Wow. You now what that means? A mechanical engineering gopher looked at it under a scope. Dr Alan Williams this is not. Somehow, I wonder if you even know who that is...

The text is littered with marketing redundancies: "individual crystals of tempered martensite are visible" Really. I'd love to find crystals of annealed martensite. That would be a miracle.
The rest, likewise, is pretty much as redundant. its marketing guff, with absolutely no metalurgical data, reference or accuracy whatsoever - photographs that "show indentations from hardness testing" - but no data on the test. Brinell? Vickers? Rockwell? Mohs? Its there for people who want to be wowed by science™ without ever realising they're being sold down the river and fed a con.

And you're another mark for them. someone stupid enough to fall for their shit, and to lap it up.
