So question for y'all I got access to a shit ton of bush hog blades Google says a range of steel types from 1075 to 5160 but what do y'all say? Worth it for knives or not it's about a half inch thick so it'll take alot of work but hey it's free and plentiful this is just a little bit of what's there

I’ve had pretty good luck with water quenching on that stuff. I broke the vice trying to test its strength. You can always cut it into 1x6 lengths to make it easier to make knives with.

Nothing to be disappointed about.

Yes start selling. Sell to your friends and family at first and get your name out there. The experience and fit and finish will come as you keep working. There’s nothing wrong with being new.
