A friend gave me a piece of stainless rod 3ft x 1 in. Has any one ever forged this using a charcoal forge. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Did He mention what Kind of Stainless it is ?
No he didn'tOriginally Posted by Mike Stewart
. Does it help that it was used in elevators? One end does have the remnants of a yellow color code.

Jim,
Yellow codes are for 300 Series Stainless Steels.
You cannot harden 300 Series Steels
How can you make a knife from a steel that you cannot harden ?
You can make a Guard or a Pommel from it but not a blade.
What Mike said but you can forge it. Make something decorative that will last a lifetime.
A sucking chest wound is Nature's way of telling you to slow down.
