a bit spendy then.

Yabbut under 50 cents in tool steel in each laminated iron.

but nice to think about (G)

Oh, yes!

I don't think the steel would be as good in solid form over
a laminated blade.

Have to agree with that, especially now that the chemical composition is
known. It sure would be great to give this stuff a shot.

Cheers!

Exactly! For 2000 irons! With a glut like that, you might be able to sell
'em for twenty bucks apiece! (G)

just getting the blades I have made now are a battle. they keep costing more and
I still have to have them surface ground. I would not like all my planes to have
laminated blades (G) though I wish I could get them all with laminated blades
and chuck the solid O-1.
