Neat video... I can watch an old school blacksmith work all day!
I have a friend that makes knives just like that. He uses wood from trees off of his property and I give him old Jeep axle shafts and leaf springs for the steel.. He likes to get steel from the 70's and prior.. Says the carbon content is much better than the newer stuff.

Heard of them using old files too. Got a friend who made me one from an old two man saw blade and a antler horn handle. Sharp you know what! Lol

It would be cool to make one out of an old cub part that's not repairable.

 I guess you could use old blades or some unrebuildable spindles from a 44a deck. I don't think horseshoes would be enough on their own, you would have to add in some higher grade/alloyed steel or it won't hold an edge. Bill

horse shoes will make a decent blade but nothing like an old leaf or coil spring. an axle shaft from a cub should make a decent blade also. timing chain and chain saw chain also make a neat looking blade. the old rail spikes will make a neat looking knife but they realy need a piece of high carbon steel in the blade to be a realy good knife.

I bet the timing chain blade would be cool too!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
