a question about D6 steel

Hi everyone,
the boss att work gave me 3 steel plates 40cm x 15cm x 2.5 cm of D6
i was wondering if this stuff is any good for making knives.

Thanks in advance
Roger

It's similar to D2 but with higher carbon [2.10 % C] and some W. Should be a bit higher wear resistance and a bit more brittle .Make a knife or two !! There's enough material to experiment with. Make sure it's annealed before you try to cut it.I can give you HT data if you need.
