    S5 is very tough and the tougher the steel usually means its going to be easy to sharpen. I have stuff in s7. Which is close to s5 and its tough as nails. As is 4140, but dont confuse toughness in steel as strength. Toughness is the ability to take deformation with breaking, strength is the how hard can use it before it deforms.

    S5 Shock-Resisting Tool Steel, is a medium carbon content tool steel. What makes this oil-hardening tool steel unique is it's silicon-manganese content. This blend creates a tool steel that exhibits the highest impact toughness of any "S" grade tool steel. S5 is an excellent choice where the properties of silicon-manganese steels are desired in combination with well-known advantages of oil-hardening steels. A reduced tendency to distort or crack in heat treatment is accordingly combined with high toughness in S5. In fact, S5 can be hardened to approx. 62 Rockwell C. This makes S5 and better choice for applications where a higher strength than S7 shock absorbing steel can provide.

With those weapons the deformation and chipping of the business end does very little for the effectiveness of the weapon. Thats why even after steel was invented you could still occasionally see bronze maces and such. However, a crows beak or such war scythe type weapons that need a sturdy, pointy piercing head, this steel might be excellent.

Work hardening makes the material harder but also more brittle. Once hardened it doesn't go back to it's unhardened state without relaxing it through applying for example heat.

    ​@@takisk.7698oh, I would imagine so. I've been following the evolution of knive steels for 25 years. And the acceleration of development in the last 10 years has been neck breaking(Think Metal Gear Solid). It seems that only in the last 3 or 4 years have sword smiths begun to experiment with using more modern advanced steels. I can't wait to see what's around the corner. Fantasy is becoming like science fiction. What seems like magic, only remains such, until a real world Wizard(we call them metalurgists) figure out how it would be made. Soon we'll be able to control the atomic structure of steel, right down to the precise alignment of each carbon atom from every single nanometer of the steel. In Star War's it's called durasteel. Tie fighter's are made of this. It is a super steel. Those blaster cannons on X-Wings are not anti fighter blasters, those are anti capitol ship cannons. They are made to blast through the heavy durasteel armor of capital ships, like Corvettes and small cruisers, anything under a Corellian heavy Cruiser, like a Star Destroyer. This is why the blow up Tie's so easily. It's also why X-Wings need shields. Cause Tie cannons are exactly as powerful. And Tie cannons cycle like belt fed machine guns. And they chew through X-Wing shields like they aren't there. Anyway, Durasteel is steel made at the molecular level. And that's what we will have, and mere minutes, from tomorrow. Why? Because they are already developing a high powered partical beam laser to be fitted onto a fighter, like an F-22 Raptor. So what is a next gen Raptor like fighter going to be made of? Durasteel. Or duratanium! Who knows what they'll call it. It will be a metal that take extreme temperatures, extreme g loading, and possibly even near contact high explosives, without bending or breaking. Metals that push the boundaries of what we thought was impossible, into what is possible and beyond. Show Enzo Ferrari from 1958 an Acura NSX from 1990 and he think he's looking at a Space Age race car from the planet Krebular.

    With my Mosin Nagant 7.62 x54, steel core FMJ rounds, ducking behind my ex girlfriend's car, I shot a 1/2 inch plate of AR500 steel at 25 yards. Now, when we shoot other steel plates (regular mild or carbon steel) that gun will punch through almost an inch of steel without needing the steel core rounds. But against the AR500 plate the bullet simply exploded and scratched the paint. The plate did warp slightly, as it was mounted on two sides and shot in the middle, but there was no impact dent at all. AR500 is used as abrasion resistant lining for heavy industrial equipment, like bulldozer liner. I'd love to see it made into a legit katana. *however I'll say that AR500 is definitely much harder to put an edge on than S5

    It's a brittle armor steel. It's shrugs off weak stuff but if it's is too much it'll chip, crack or snap. It's one thing when it's a solid plate that can absorb much impact as one piece. But if it's something less, or it has to bend... Totally unusable for a sword, is my guess. I mean, I would like to see it too, if anything, to see how it compares. But I wouldn't wanna be the one to swing it.

    AR500 has no place as a sword steel. You can break it with a curbstomp if it's thin enough. Hecc, it isn't even used in modern-generation body armor anymore. It's just inferior. Too heavy, too brittle.

    ​​@@mikeboyce21AR500 isn't that hard. It's Abrasion Resistant plate at about 500 brinell hardness. It's not even armor steel. Though ironically our common and cheap AR500 is way better than any WW2 armor you can name. Long before it was ever used for rifle targets or body armor it was used in industry for decades. For it's original purpose.

    Note: i am not a full-blown metallurgist, but i know enough to get by as a bladesmith. I got curious about this steel as I have worked with a higher grade of it, S7 (i made my first punch from this), and I know ABS Master Smith Howard Clark used S7 in his Bainite katana series not surprised. The steel is made for making chisel. S5 steel is a high-hardenability very high alloy tool steel...its hardenability is high enough that if you dont temper it depends on how hot you quench it as it has one of the highest ranges of hardening temperatures I have seen (I am using Fahrenheit as it more accurate then Celcies) 1600-1695F. that also has the issue of if you dont temper it in 30 min if you went in at 1600F or 15minuites at 1695F...it will Crack. So it is a very very tough steel also it it does require hotter temperatures to forge. it likely will NOT take a classic Clay Quench differential hardening but you can probably blue back the spine. also without going into the techciall stuff that i bearly understand, as like i said i know enough to get by and i am using a turm not thrown around a lot is a higher end of carbon content middle-carbon at .50-.60C steel which is what Swords are supposed to be made of. looking at the high T-10, which is the same as W1...has very high carbon steel and actually has to be tempered right after quenching and should not even be put in a cold furnace...not what you should be making swords from, but it works great for knives....and drill bits. Not necessarily swords

    S5 is some incredibly tough steel. Its some hardcore steel for sure. That was very surprising that you were able to sharpen it that easily. Normally tool steel is difficult to sharpen and takes some effort to put a proper edge on. I figured that it would be seriously difficult, and an absolute pain in the ass to make sharp. This was an all around incredibly impressive review. This is the kind of sword that you want to have with you for the freaking apocalypse!

    Love the content, but as a one piece fan, i have to say: Enma isnt specifically known for its hardness, its known for its destructive properties, along with the difficulty of using it (since it drains the users energy in order to become more destructive). The sword Zoro used to have before Enma, Shusui, IS known for being incredibly hard, to the point that it wouldnt bend if a dinosaur stepped on it.
