thanks for the advice guys, and for now the rail is perfect, as soon as i can ill post some pictures of the rough knifes i've made. :)

one problem with that, only metal cutting tool's i have is a hack saw. and the only metal working tools i have is a few hammers and some vice grips. :unsure:

one day i seen this section at an old ladys house, she said she used it for traction in the winter time and i told her what i wanted it for so she gave it to me all i have done with it so far is just put it up on 2 logs and been using it like that ive always wanted to get into knife smithing and its finally working out i have a wood stove that gets pretty hot and other that that not much else but a pile of leaf springs and lawnmower blades.

hello everyone, I was just wondering if a pice of rail road track would work as an anvil, I have about a 3 ft section and was wondering if it would work for a begining blacksmith.
