It's a high carbon steel with a tensile strength of 95,000 PSI. That'll boost your factor of safety above 3.

No worries.

Matt

I was sure steels were commonly over 70k psi, I should have pointed that out.

Sanddrag, with a good steel key like Matt pointed out, you will have a safety factor of over 4 or 5. You should be fine.
