The best steel is never in a comfortable place. It’s in a decommissioned power plant in the Rust Belt, where the security guard is a raccoon. It’s at the bottom of a scuttled freighter in the Norwegian Sea. It’s embedded in the frame of a 1928 Hispano-Suiza that’s been rotting in a French barn since the German occupation.
