Junkyard Steels

#1 Post by perry » Fri Mar 19, 2010 6:26 am

G/day folks, was trawling around the web looking for a guide as to what steel mower blades are made from as a cheap readily available source for carbon steel for when the mood moves me to knock up a new knife and found this handy referance. It lists the steel a whole raft of common items are made from. A nice referance that could come in pretty handy
