Rob Toneguzzo Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 (edited) I have been given an old power saw blade abour 3 mil thick and some blades from a tractor slasher...Would any of this steel be any good to forge...I have no idea what sort of steel it would be. I did make a stock removal skinner from the power saw blade and it quenched and tempered into a usuable blade. I have pretty much only used 5160 to date.

Jokke Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 saw blades are often made from 75 Ni 8, which makes them a good bladesteel, very bright and silvery looking in damascus-steel about slashers I do not know... Jokke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Toneguzzo Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 Thanks, Just got to find another steel to mix in with the saw steel. It is a very old blade that was found at an old farm shed.
