What are the pros and cons of using Abrasion Resistant 400 steel for knife blades? Does anyone have instructions for annealing, normalizing, heat treating and tempering AR 400? I have a large supply of old road grader blades available made of this steel that I would like to use if it is appropriate.

John,

I've never used any of this steel but from what I see it looks like it's low on carbon. Probably not the best blade steel.
