Welcome snyiper. If you want to make some knife shaped objects with saw blades, you will no doubt learn things along the way, But like Ray said, if you want to end up with a usable knife, get some known steel. 1080 or 1084, if you want to send the first couple out to be heat treated by someone else you can even get some stainless like 440c. Really the cost of good steel is the very lowest of costs when starting knife making. You will probably use up more funds on sand paper than 8-10 inches of 1080 would cost for a knife.
