You guys are way ahead of my forging an old file in a stoker fired coal furnace like I used to do. They didn't come out so pretty but they worked pretty good.

Another option. I just made a knife using flat stock D2 tool steel that I got free from a local plane knife shop. From all I have read about D2 it seems that it is tough as nails, holds a great edge, has good corrosion resistance, and can be used as is without heat treating. So far I'm real impressed with it.
