I noticed in the Woodwright's Shop episode you referenced that Roy
mentions the pattern is tempered=2C so I assume it's hardened to some

I've had occasion to handle Roy's version three times in the past
year=2C but I must confess that I never inspected it with an eye towards
recreating it=2C so I can't pass on anything terribly useful. -T
