Hello all, I need some help. My grandmother past recently and she had several kitchen knives that she always used. these all had 14 to 16" blades on them and are old. I am not sure the metal but the blades are aged. They all hold a great edge. i was thinking to make several remembrance knifes from these for all of her children and two grandchildren.
Questions:
Since this blade is already in working condition can I cut it with a hacksaw and not heat treat?
Is there anything special I need to do or not do with this type of steel? Again not sure what type but I am assuming its not stainless from the looks.
