I was at the scrapyard today and picked up some cutters.

Here is a photo:

http://www.drizzle.com/~dantzler/ima...cutter0007.JPG

The 3 thick ones have the following stamped into them:
UNION-CARD DIV
STW 8 x 1 1/2
BLADE-1122 R & L
WEDGE-W-25 & W-25L

The thinner one has:
Apex Tool & Cutter Co Inc Shelton Conn
53-60404 8X 742 46-820052-01
BLADES 65-66-11

It's a safe bet that the teeth are some type of carbide.

What type of steel are the blades made out of?

What is the typical use of these cutters?

I ask because I will be very happy if I got 40+ lb. of some type
of tool steel that can be forged into interesting, sharp things.
