I have a supply of teeth off of a sickle bar mower and was wondering how i could find out what kind of steel they are made from. Was thinking of trying to make knives from them.????

thanks for all the great info.

great, thanks for all the responses.I will try the horseshoe heart and cross for sure( as we have horses and alot of shoes).I have played with shoes a few times and keeping the ends even when bending is harder than it looks.I wonder how that cross is made.

thanks for the replies. I have made a few knives from o1 but never forged one, thats how i caught the forging disease. Friday I'm going to spend a few hours with a blacksmith in SC.

what kind of steel are rr spikes made from

here is a pic of the hat rack. The front was supposed to look like an indian arrowhead.sorry for the bad pic.,

I finally got my granddads blacksmith equip and tools set up at my shop and built a forge( as the old one was made from a barrel and was shot). I made a hat rack from the blueprint section and a fire poker. I want to make some simple but nice things to try and sell. any other suggestions beside those two? I was thinking maybe a pot rack would be o.k. for a newbie. there are so many ideas in the blueprint section its hard to decide. I will try to post some pics.
