    Asarco Knife Metal Ingot

    Federated Metals .... American Smelting and Refining Company .... Knife Metal

    Its 5 pounds, pretty hard, cant scratch with a fingernail

    Anybody Familiar with Knife Metal.

    Its not a metal you would make a knife blade with unless its for knife bolsters or butts. In that case I know Tin is sometime used for that purpose.

    I found another ingot from NF (Non-Ferris) stamped "Planer Knife"

    It must be for setting planer blades. Maybe used in one of the saw mills.
