Architectural bronze has nothing to do with regular bronze. It is a copper-zinc-silicon alloy, which places it in the category of special brasses. Unlike regular brass, it has a lower zinc content, making it very suitable for forging. The shape is formed while it is warm. Architectural bronze, like steel, can be hardened, but this is done through cold hammering. The tip of this Marlin Spike was hardened in the same way - by work hardening.
