Hi all,
Came across some of these pieces.
Anyone knows what they are and if they are worth using? I'm trying to setup basic shop and thought of using a cut off as an anvil substitute partly buried in the ground, and maybe also as source steel for some of my first blades as I don't want to ruin good steel.

Follow up question - I can get some free pieces of rebar (building for concrete reinforcement) is that usable at all? I see different opinions online.
Is this good steel? For anvil substitute / to source from
in Anvils, Swage Blocks, and Mandrels

Hi all, thanks for the replies.
The steel I came through is similar to this:
Some kind of structure beams I think.
I'm from the middle east, every small piece of steel is very expensive here. Not to mention can be hard to aquire.
At the moment I simply work with what I can get. Made some blades from old files and rusty old saws. But that's it, didn't even had to use a forge as the steel was already hardened.
