Practice steel!!

[Gliden07]

Just scored some old planer blades and 1/2 of a 22" saw blade. Figured it would be some good practice steel for the new grinder! If I ever get moving on that again!! To much going on now!!

Depending on the carbon content on the metal, they could be great candidates for a finished knife.

Pretty much any steel is good practice to work on grinding skills. If you want finished knives when done... well then the field gets a little smaller.

Heck even some HRS bar stock lets you practice the grinding skills.

Well it was 1/2 of an old 22" saw blade, some blades from a large planer, and couple cuts from a trailer leaf spring and a larger truck leaf spring.
