If you're going to forge a knife, you're going to need some metal scrap
You can buy the metal from your local hardware store. But if you want it from the best possible quality, you should buy it at a scrapyard. Scrapyards are places where people bring their old cars and other vehicles to get rid of them. These people usually have a lot of old metal laying around that they don't need anymore
The first thing that you need to do when buying scrap metal is make sure that it's not too rusty. If it's too rusty, then it will be difficult for you to forge anything out of it. The second thing that you need to do is check the weight and size of the metal as well as its condition before making a purchase decisio
If you're going to forge a knife, then there are two types of materials that you can use: iron and steel (carbon). Iron is cheaper than steel because it doesn't require as much work. Steel requires more work but produces better results in terms of strength and durability
