I have a large group of Schrade blade blanks that were from the US factory --they are not ground, but are just profiled(stamped out ?) Would anybody know if these blades have been het treated, or did Schrade grind them then heat treat??
 
I had several like that and posed the same question to Muskrat Man. He told me the metal was usually heat treated before they were cut/stamped to final shape. Best I can do for you though. What model are they?

I tried the file--it does not cut these blanks easily--I'm assuming by this that the blades are already heat treated. I have several types of these blades, a few carbon, but mostly Schrade+. All they would need then is to grind and finish. Several types of blades, some marked with model numbers, others not.
 
it might be a good idea if you're not sure is to find a place that might be able to rockwell test them for you. a file wont even touch the blade or leave a mark after i get done with the heat treat on my knives.
