Moly and Tungsten and chrome! Oh my! And look the percentages! I don't mean to be silly here but torturing yourself by forging on this stuff would be even more silly. It is obviously designed to stay quite hard while quite hot. Even if you are prepared for the task of forging, you have to accomplish the heat treating that such an alloy would demand. Great mill cutters and steel drills but how many hunting knives spin at several hundred RPMS against steel?
