@bradtheblacksmith forges a railroad spike into a functional fixed blade knife suitable for cheese or steak knife, or even a letter opener.
Railroad spikes are well know for a multitude of blacksmithing projects and can make a useable knife. Please note, the railroad spikes typically have a carbon content that is too low to keep a decent edge for a long period of time.

Me encanto el producto final espero poder hacer uno muy pronto
Im glad to see you mentioned that its not the best steel for a good bit of tasks. A lot of people coming into knifemaking, don't know enough to realize they wont see the performance they want from a railroad spike. Theyre great practice, but not the ideal material for most blades.
