Oh I ment to address the liquid nitrogen thing.....Don't even worry I said 1084 carbon because that you can heat treat in a forge and canola oil NO Liquid nitrogen.....you can do that with most carbon steels 1084 is the easiest start there....NOW I do use liquid nitrogen but that is because I don't use carbon steels I use stainless but to use stainless you need a $2000 heat treating oven the temperatures need to be exact wich you cant accomplish in a forge so unless you want to use stainless and want to spend 2 grand on a oven and 800$ on a container for the liquid nitrogen....don't worry stick with 1084 now you don't need the liquid nitrogen
