Camillus Cutlery (in village of same name in upstate New York) - now closed for a few years - used molten lead at a stage in their blade heat treatment process. I had the privilege of a tour courtesy of the consultant overseeing QA for the larger Cold Steel brand knives that were made there at the time and I recall seeing the pots in use and a brief discussion about safety concerns and measures taken with the material.
