hhmm how old are the blades? because i know some 2 year old ones i have, are not steel, they are some sort of allow but i'm not sure what. they are extreemely light, but will take impact very well. they bounce off the anvil when trying to forge, so be carefull when they are hot. i have not tried forging them into knives, but i have straitened some that where belt, it took me quite a while. now remember, these are the 2005 blades, if you have like 1970's blades they will be something different. well those are my tips, keep in mind safety first!
