Greyman 31,607 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 My boy picks up old diamond cutting discs for me when they get thrown away at work, make some useful blades from them and they sharpen up to an evil level 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spsurfer 891 Posted April 10, 2020 Report Share Posted April 10, 2020 Definetly a good steel to make a knife from. The only drawback would be for me the thin stock, I prefer, even for a small knife, at least a 2mm up to maybe 3,5mm. Tool steel is not expensive, you can get a piece of 1.2442 steel 650mm x 3,3mm x 40mm (so enough for 4 small knives) for 20,-€. 1.2442 is a steel that was developed for industrial bandsaws and takes an edge like a razor (and keeps it for a looooong time).
