I can't find anything on this steel except what the seller says about it. It seems it might be a bit tricky to ht in a forge at 1500 f. It would keep grain growth down with the Mn and Cr in it, but that tungsten amount is a bit high and it might make for a brittle knife if temps aren't held close. I'm sure it would hold an edge though. I've never ht a steel like this, but a 1500 heat and quench with a 425 temper gives RC 61 and I don't know if it would be brittle or not, the silicon would help here.
