    I have used a lot of 4140 HT and I love it. These days I prefer not to have to send out to have tools heat treated. I have not tried 4340 but I have no reason to believe it would not work.

    Hey Dick
    Glad to hear your getting better, I was wondering why I haven't see any posts from you lately, I was kinda wondering if you were ok, us old tool makers are hard to knock down,
    Great job on the vises, they look like they were made yesterday

    Get Better
