Default Lawn Tractor Blades

A bit of help and Advice needed
I was at a garage sale and bought up about 6 sets of brand new lawn tractor blades for $2.00. Hearing different chatter about knives here I was hoping to try to make a knife Will these work well for forging a knife? they were cheap
but I am hopeful they are good for this.
My experience is very limited, I have made a few letter openers and a few knives of sorts from a rail road spike or two, neat looking for gift for hunting buddies but I don't know much about knife making so I don't think they were functional ?!
Can anyone give me some advice on useing these blades if they are indeed useable?
Maybe I am better asking for advice also on what not to do to!!!!
I realize I am not going to create a master piece as many I have seen here but would love to give it a whirl.
With a bit of good advice maybe avoid some pitfalls and common mistakes, learn something new and have some fun along the way.
Thanks
Cheftjcook
