I have to agree with Ray here. With say a 4' bar of 1 1/2 x1/4 1084 running $20 why spend the time, money and effort to make a knife that is at best a guess?
I have used many pieces of what I call "Heirloom" steel where the steel is from a piece of something historically or personally significant eg. a blade from a saw blade from a clients Great Grandfathers sawmill, or barb wire from the 38th parallel in Korea.
Just my $0.02 here but unless you KNOW what the steel is, buy known steel, in the end you will be MUCH happier!
God Bless
Mike
