I bought a new cold chisel 1" x 3/8" x 12". In the last week I started to grind down this chisel to make a 3/8 inch thick tanto blade, full tang, chisel ground edged camp knife. I just assumed a chisel would be great for a knife but last night a friend said it would be too brittle for the hard work I intended it to do. Today I am confused and am seeking out information about what I am doing.
Can I get your opinions on the steel in cold chisels used for edged weapons like my camp knife? Am I ok with this choice, is it a good choice or am I way off track?
Thank You,
