W1 is tougher, which is a good and a bad thing. It is harder to cut, but lasts longer / deforms less. This is most noticable with hammer dies in general, but...
Ah, thank you for that. I gave up trying to cut the music wire...it chewed you the jigsaw blade like it wasn't there. Bolt cutters did the trick, but it was...
