Speaking of axes, stop in sometime and check out the stuff http://www.vulcanknife.com/ has in Tacoma. They refurbish quite a few axes and while I don't really know anything about them, they are sure nice to look at! |

TCB, twolane: love the work. Quick question: why would you want to restore an axe? I was under the impression that modern steel is harder/better than old steel. And if it is historical, then restoring it reduces its value.I could understand restoriation if you're participating in historical re-enactments or if it is great grandpa's favorite axe. |

It's not that you can't get good alloys now. There are actually better alloys thanks to rockets/space. Just gonna cost you, so builders (using this as a WIDE term) will choose price and availability. |

Powder metallurgy has allowed a higher alloy content than possible with cast alloys. That higher alloy content translated into better hardness, toughness and corrosion resistance. |
