no idea, not impossible, high tensile steels are, Uhm, less than ideal to work with.
How hard? I find it hard to express exactly how difficult they can be to work without resorting to quite harsh language, let us just say they require attention and good tools/machines.
I have worked steel that required the edge to be near perfectly sharpened, a tiny imperfection that would not have mattered machining even 316 stainless or hardened truck springs would make a MESS of this stuff (looked dull and uneven almost like packed silvery sand)
