I like it, it's very practical. If it was in my kitchen it would be used...a lot.

Kevin - the easy answer to your question is:  I have no idea.  

I have another around here somewhere but not sure where? It started about 1x4x1/2" tapered to the front(business) end of the tooth.  It had two clips welded to it that held it to the drag scraper/grader.  I found two on my road and hope I can find relocate the other around here because it made a nice knife.  Definitely carbon and takes a HT but just good ole junkyard steel of unknown property.  If the other turns up I will take a pic.

I did the lava lamp pattern with mustard.

ah the mustard explains it
i thought maybe it had been welded on
some good knives can be made from junkyard steel
just a little more foolin around
