T10 gives a harder edge and a better hamon if DH, 9260 is much tougher if TH.

I believe T10 is too hard and brittle for through hardening. Better then to apply differentially hardening.

I believe T10 is too hard and brittle for through hardening. Better then to apply differentially hardening. That can be somewhat offset by the tempering of the steel after the quench. You could through harden T10 steel and temper down softer to make it tougher. Or temper to make it hard and chippy and brittle due to its high carbon.

That brings us to question: can you trust the anonymous Chinese smith that he knows what he’s doing?
