A company gave me two crates of steel plates. Each is about 1mm thick

All of those plates are heat treated deep blue and are made of some

interesting spring steel. They fold in half and spring back without

bending!



Made by Uddeholm company. Heat numbers and other numbers were not

coming up in searches.



I searched around for "Uddeholm" and found some expensive knifery.



Would anyone have any idea what kind of material is this. I am

definitely going to keep a few for myself, but also, I have a feeling

that they are too good to scrap. I am sure that you could make knives

from this material.

Do any of your local scrap yards have a xrf analyzer?
