 Twisted steel cable.
Since I haven't posted in several weeks I thought I would ask about some sections of steel cable i picked up a while back.
I know it's fairly hard, a hack saw would only scratch it. I'm guessing after working with a section of it today I should probably anneal it before trying to work it. It also seems to be magnetic too since it was picking up filings after cutting off a chunk with the chop saw.
There are 7 strands .200" in diameter each. I was hoping to make some handles out of and perhaps a knife at some point. Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
