Grab a piece of 4140 or O1, A2, W1 or what ever you have that you can do a ghetto heat treat on and have fun with it.
This is a 1/8" form tool at a 5 degree angle.
It's O1 that I heated up cherry red, dunked in oil, cleaned it up to see the color. (kind of a dark straw?) Then I put the piece on a surface plate with some 600 wet sand paper to get a sharp edge.
