That’s possible. I don’t recall offhand as I’ve never crafted one. They’re obsolete by the time you progress further in the game and I did the journey steps at level 60. I will say that you will find some weapons and armor can only be crafted on certain tier benches. That’s why most players have BOTH an improved AND a garrison/campaign bench.

Edit: I just realized you’re asking about perfected HARDENED STEEL. This might not be an option outside of the random loot drops. I’ve not seen any of them in the bench offhand, though I could be wrong.
