 Trans-axel question?????? I have been given a rear axel/trans-axel from a 60's model buick. It is in two pieces and is splined in the center to fit into the differential I am assuming. I am not real knowledgeable on car parts. It is approx. 1-1.25" thick at the center and tapers a bit wider where it attaches to the wheels. Any Idea what type of steel this is. I would like to try to make some knives out of it. Thanks, Bret
