I believe that 80CrV2 is a better steel for the toughness that style of knife may need

Yep l will leave any of those sort of decisions & input up to your expertise

Decided to have a play on the power hammer this morning so the remains of my fathers 1950's era wrecking bar was the starting point for something with a bit of persian influence. Got it flattened and rough shaped the went through the normalising before marking on the desired shape and going to the grinder. still a bit thick at 3/16 full so will take it back to about 5/32 before contuing with build.
