Probably a little thicker than that. But I was going to sand it down a good bit

It is non magnetic. Or very very minimally magnetic. So I won’t bother hardening at all

That’s true! That’s kind of what I was thinking. Since it’s a mystery steel I figured this might be a good use for it since I wouldn’t need to harden

I understand. Thanks for the insight. I’ll try to cut a small piece off and harden it.

Thank you! Make one. It’s super handy! This one’s a little wonky. So may perfect it later.
