Very tough, talk about hardened steel ... wow, it must be at least grade 9.
I heated mine up on the end with a rose bud and gently flared out the bottom ear tabs another 1/2" or so and it cuts thru hard clay much better. I would have liked to reset the handle further back too but never could get it hot enough to bend it.
It's a hard core piece for sure.
Nice finds Mike
