[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 638908, member: 6570"] Greenhornet_au, yes bisaloy is hard it comes in 3 grades, but is is not a good wearing type of steel, it is used for it's strength. Plough disc is a Boron type steel and is hard and very good wear characteristics. I use 5mm plough disc for the blade and 8mm plough disc for the point and there for it is a 2 piece pick head. I use spotted gum handles in all size picks I make The picture below is a special order and the guy wanted just the pick heads and was fitting his own special extra long handles In the end if is up to you what you use and how you do it.
