Chain Saw Blades

While trying to recruit people to join a group of aspiring knifemakers here in Western Wa, a friend and neighbor of mine told me about a fellow he knew that made knives. I contacted him by phone and found that he was very interested in in participating in our little organization. We're trying to put together periodic 'hammer-ins' to share our interest, experiences and knowledge. The group includes Journeyman Bladesmith to novices.

Anysway, in talking to this individual he told me that he made most of his knives from chain saw bars. I'd never heard of this and yet he said that the steel made outstanding blades. SinceI have an old bar from my Stihl chain saw I'm considering giving it a go.

Does anyone have knowledge of what type of steel this is? Stihl Chainsaw are manufactured in Germany and the US (and probably other places as well).

I've sent a request to Stihl but am still waiting a reply.
