I agree with most....I would just buy a bar of 1084 or similar you know what it is and know exactly how to heat treat it...I think this is going have have the same answer as when people use files to make a blade...it will make a great knife IF its the right file. not all files will make a good knife. same as not all chainsaw bars will make a great knife....also I think what ray was getting at about the response from sthl "high carbon" Now HIGH carbon to them might be different than the high carbon we use....just like the word BIG could mean 2 feet to you but 5 feet to me. Either way why not try that's my opinion just don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work very well
