Forging a knife from a bunch of pieces of used band saw pieces. These are the blades I use in my wood bandsaw for cutting handle material.
The edge of the knife is 52100 high carbon steel, with nickel in-between the cladding and edge steel.

One thing that makes interesting videos is taking absolute crap like those belt grinder shavings and turning them into a master piece.

I very much like watching you work your steel and knives. I once was a fairly serious knife maker, working with Devin Thomas quite a bit over the years. I finally burned clear out and closed my shop for almost a decade. Now I'm fully retired from my "career job" and am getting ready to jump back into knives. Watching channels like yours is really a big help, thanks so much for putting out great content!

When you welded the bandsaw blades you blocked the ark of the welding with your hand a lot of people don't do that they don't realize that that light from the welding can still affect a person's eyes watching video God bless and have a blessed day

That cladding turned out very cool. Reminds me of wrought iron in some ways. I also like how the nickel and cladding were spotted through the edge steel but not quite on the edge. I'm working on a hjartum style axe with 1045 body with 5160 edge.

Like others have said, bandsaw blades are usually 15N20 and heat treat well. You can always test harden a chunk. Generally, if a piece is as thin as a bandsaw blade and has a good spring to it, it should heat treat fine. Nice work man!
