Default Looks Like Stainless... ?

I grabbed a piece of scap to make a part today. It looks like stainless,
is heavy like steel, and machines easy like 1144. What the heck is this
mystery metal?

Seriously. I don't know, but I want to.


Spark test?



Since I have already machined the part I don't want to beat on it, but it
sure got my attention. I was all prepared to fight with it and listen to
screaming, skating, and chatter, and I didn't get any of that.
