I have been given the shaft!!!!!!!!!!
« on: May 05, 2008, 04:25:00 PM »
Well, trans-axle maybe.  I am not real sure of the terms associated with car parts but I have been given a "trans-axle" from a 60's model car.  It is a rear axle looking thing in two sections and they are splined in the center, for the differential, I am assuming. They are approximately 1-1.25" thick at the center and taper a bit wider towards the wheels. What type of steel is this?  I am wanting to make some knives from it if suitable.

Thanks, Bret
