[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 2194030, member: 78438"] Planer blades are usually D2 or M2. They make decent knives.....but are too hard...they'll hold an edge pretty good, but if you take them to a reasonable edge angle( not like a planer blade) the edge becomes pretty easy to chip. They are tool steel, not ideal for knives but will work if its all you got. Just be ready spend a lot of time and money on abrasives to shape it. I don't shape hardened steel....it's 10 times the work. You can't aneal and ht those steels without very expensive tools. So.....you have to take extreme care the entire time your working with it so you don't ruin the heat treat that's already on it. Bottom line.... The juice ain't worth the squeeze. [/QUOTE]
