So far this group seems to be growing fairly quickly. Glad to see that. 

 

Looks like we've got some pretty respectable members here already, too.

 

Anyone here, I want to invite you to feel free to start a discussion. I know that a lot of people are into carbon steels. So there has to be some questions that people have about different metals maybe vs others. But there are many topics to discuss, many photos to share, and a lot of other things to talk about.

 

Feel free to post your knives and the like.

 

I would love to start a whole bunch of conversations here. But my experience is limited-which is why I started this group...

 

Anything that is relevant is okay here, so make this group yours.

Howdy boys.  Your non-knife but wood working GOB here.  Have to agree w/ Michael Bolen.  I've made some fine knives from an old saw blades and a plasma arc cutter.  They also make some fine scrapers.  (Scrapers are rectangular pieces of spring (whaz 'spring steel' anyway?)  BUT my favorite knife-making steel is the steel trapping they use to bundle 2x4's together.  Made a bunch of scribes out'a some thinnish strapping and a killer fillet knife out'a some bigger stuff.  ANd a GOB Michale sez -you can't beat free for cheep.

I like saw blade steel the best. Mainly because it is easy to find and use, and it makes a good blade. I have found saw blades up to 52 inches for trade of a knife. I can get a lot of bowies out of one blade. Also at the saw mills around here, I can get band saw blades for free. I also use the saw blad steel in my damascus steel along with spring steel and 205 nickel. You can't beat free for cheep!

Nick, I will try to help you with this group. I am new to these knife groups but not new to carbon steel knives.
