yeh ray nailed it on that one I have a friend who yes he used known carbon steels 1084 1095 ect....but he also does use things like old files saw blades that sorta thing he has been doing this for years even with his experience there is a good % that he forges out does everything then HT's it and finds out that it wont harden its a chance that he takes and understands...but if your serious about learning to make a knife your better off learning with KNOWN steels because say you use a file and it doesn't harden how do you know its a bad file or maybe your heat treat wasn't right....once you know how to heat treat then you know right away if its the file or not
