Italian c45, 0.45 percent carbon steel.
Compression and elongation cycles under the hammer make it very sturdy.
We use scrap steel coming from industries of the area, I was even able to make a titanium blade (not posted here because of it being unhistorical) using titaniums scraps coming from pieces destined to high tech machinery.
here I have continued to post progresses of another mac style dagger I'm slowly finishing

As for the sax, the goal is to reproduce this style (photo Zuiderwik), including the silver inlays

Mind that that sax is tiny, it probably fits inside the tang of your sax
