Steel for a knife

Recommended Posts

I've just put a new blade on my circular saw and wondered if the old disc would be useful to turn into a small fixed blade knife. I've known people say old band saw blades are good for this, but I don't know if these discs are generally a pretty low grade steel with tips.

Thanks

But too brittle when you thin it down to an edge ....

 

A file takes a lovely edge. My favourite marking knife in the workshop is made from a small flat file that was for taking the rakers down. The blade would not have much flex but nought wrong the edge it takes.
