Dont know about the steel content but they have a wonderful feel to them. Especially the smaller one .

Just out opf interest , this is the garage that I inherited............itcould only happen to me!!! on a bridle path with no other access . It is fabulouse

No, I think smud6ie got it right with the link to a hedge slasher.
