Hydraulic Punch Press. Any possible uses?

I have about a 25 ton Toledo OBI punch press sitting in a shop that I have to clean out. I have tried to sell it, with no luck, and before I sell it for scrap iron I thought I would ask if it can be used or adapted for use in any way for knife making. There are also several #2 wash tubs full of punches and dies of all sizes. I assume that the larger ones could be forged into knife blades? I don't know for sure, but it seems that they must be some type of hardened steel. I am a very new knife maker and am going the stock removal route at this point. I just don't want to get rid of something and then find a use for it after the fact. I have always had a real knack for that in the past!
 
I would be interested in coming to look at the press. I have a bunch of dies and the guy that made the dies for me retired and I can't get the parts made anymore. Let me know if you are interested in selling and how much. Thanik about it and let me know.
