HSS is hardened. At least the tooling blanks I have.Nice work! Looks really good. Please forgive my ignorance, but what factors would influence you to use a piece of O1 vs HSS, assuming each was wide enough for the radius? I have some spare HSS blanks, but now wondering if theres value to having some O1 stock on hand to use for scenarios like you show. Thanks
Working an annealed piece then doing a ghetto heat and dip is easy and effective.
