This summer I took a very large truck bearing race and hammer forged it into a fighting knife, some of the well known knife makers use bearing steel, Cold Steel has some really nice shortened versions of a Katana, pricey as all getouts and these have been supplied to “special forces”.

I have a Cold Steel Katana and Wakazashi...they're very nice, and I much prefer them to a machete for clearing brush and saplings. I have a modicum of training in their use, but can't envision a scenario in which they'd be preferable to a firearm...

Old files make nice knives also. Buck knife started out making knives out of files.
