Good evening. Don
the cold rollled steel wont be any good for blade stock. it will have low or no carbon in it.
as for the file, it will be easyer on you and your grinder to temper it back a bit. files usally are pretty hard and that is hard on your belts. Michal Morris makes all his knives out of nothing but files and he said he tempers them all back. how far will depend on what you want in a knife and what its end use is for.
