Hello,
Please excuse what might be a dumb question... and from a "new guy" to boot.
In recent years, it seems that there are many creating knives from a wide array of material, many of which can be seem on Ytube.
I have wanted to attempt to smith a knife(s) from port. sawmill blades (guessing somewhere around D4). Being in the business that I am, I have a decent supply.
I've given pieces to some local fellas whom just cut a knife straight from the blade (1-1/2" x .055) and rave how well it holds an edge. Personally thought smithing would be a better route.
Has anyone here ever forged material such as this into a quality cutting tool ??
