Anyone ever forge welded old chainsaw chains for a knife blade ? I am curious about the heattreat and final working hardness. I remember reading about it sometime in the past but not finding any real info. I am not interested in "art knives", if it is not a funtional cutting tool it's not a knife. I "think" the chains "should" be better than steel cable but mainly just want to give it a try to see how it works. Chains and my time is free, time at the forge is a stress reliever. I like using scrap materials , I have other known steel, just seems interesting.
Thanks for any insight
