Ok, so i was driving home from work the other day and saw a service truck (I guess like the kind that works on loaders and such) run over whjat looked like a pipe in the road. As the "pipe" bounced over to the curb I thought to myself that doesn't look right, pipes usually squish flat when that size of a truck runs them over. So I turned around and went to check it out, lands up it is the shaft out of a hydrolic piston or accuator arm from a tractor that had sheared off and being unsecured in the back of this guys truck fell out. I picked it up... all 3 feet of it and took it home. I do not forge at this point but might get into it a bit later on.
my question is: is this good knife steel and how do i find out what kind of steel it is?
