Steve Anderson Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I posted a message (here on I Forge Iron) asking for some insight when I was given some "to be discarded" wood planer blades.The responses were very helpful and encouraging.Since I cannot heat treat the metal (that seems to have been) used to make these blades, I have started making some quick little project knives to help me learn more about knife making and working with hardened steel.So far I have made two little knife like objects that are both even useful.The planer Blades are approximately 12.5 inches x 0.75 inches x 0.06 inches.The blades a laminated M2 Steel. As I understand so far, M2 steel is more hard than it is tough so I will avoid using it for applications requiring impact resistance -- or where failure is likely to lead to injury or death.

ianinsa Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 If you cut pieces with a hole in the center using thin s/s cutoff blades and bolt a handle through the center to form a "T" they make great scrapers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
